Sue Symons first book – One Mans Journey to Heaven, is a collection of visual panels showing thirty-five episodes from the life of Christ, combining ancient and new symbols in a progressive way.
I am inspired to see such quality of design and depth within a religious theme.
Sue Symons work covers many areas of creativity, a whole spectrum shaped in a single page, following in the footsteps of gloriously illuminated manuscripts, intricate needlework tapestries and calligraphic panels, truly a labour-of-love.
These multi-dimensional diptych panels draw you back to look again, to take in the texts, colours, textures, patterns, symbols including musical notes.
We liked Sues work so much for its originality we have awarded our Timeless Book Award 2009. This recogises great visual skill in an ancient and modern art form. Promoted and Sponsored by Michael R Mumford
