Suzanne Pawlowska Little
‘Discharged’, freehand crochet on cotton yarn on cotton knickers, 2019.
Suzanne (Pawlowska) Little is a visual artist from London, living in Surrey with her husband and two children. Originally studying Illustration, she quickly deviated from traditional media to create work from found objects and ephemera, using photography to document and present her work. During her second pregnancy, she was bed-bound and started to create fabric work which grew out of the preemie hats and baby clothes she was crocheting. More recently, during the pandemic lock-down she was inspired to return to photography to document her daily family life and now this format, originally used as a means to document her work has become her primary form of expression. Through her art, she explores the themes of memories, making them, documenting them and living in them. Her photographic work has a dreamy quality, sometimes dark or strange and the analogue medium of film she uses fits this aesthetic. Suzanne is currently working on a project documenting the intensity and closeness of family life including co-sleeping and breastfeeding using Instax photography. Her work has been featured in Horizon Magazine, Illagrypho Press Magazine and the Mum Poet Club Zine. She was a winner of the Fujifilm Print Life UK World Photography Day lockdown competition and won FilmPhotography.co.uk’s competition on Nostalgia.
