Susan Rennick Jolliffe, My work for the last 30 years has been creating whimsical artifacts out of the discarded stuff of our civilization combined with clay and paint. I have exhibited my material culture sculpture mainly in Canada and often in local Ottawa galleries, where people have been delighted to see their raw materials transformed into wondrous things. My dream is that some of them will last long enough to become artifacts in some extraterrestrial exhibit of early 21th century objects. The porcelain sheep heads with the funny expressions will survive for a couple of thousand years, if nothing else. This may keep future archaeologists going for years trying to figure out whether these belonged to a cult. I have enjoyed many years of sharing this passion by workshops with children and teachers in schools and museums (MASC), creating large public participation sculptures (Moose for the NCC) and publishing a how to make paper sculpture book (Sculpture Vultures 2000). In 2001, my reflective 50th year, I took a break from sculptural work to embrace my love of story through drawing. Recently, I have completed the illustrations for a children's book by Jan Andrews (Orca, spring 2005). I am now working on my own tantalizing tea party book and being occasionally enchanted with fabulous bits of junk.
