Suzi Higg-Tibbetts - The Open College of the Arts

Suzi Higg-Tibbetts

I have an interest in the objects and spaces that affect the human body, as well as those we construct as a consequence of being. Much of my fascination with object intervention grew out of the human body scale, although my interest has been less about wearability and more about interactivity. Within my practice I seek to explore the use, matter, and space surrounding everyday objects, those that form an integral role within our daily activities and environments.

My background includes a Masters Degree from the Royal College of Art in Goldsmithing, Silversmithing, Metalwork and Jewellery, where investigations in value and material exchange shaped my practice and led enquiry through sound pieces and interactive performances.

I have a PGCE in Lifelong Learning and my passion for accessible and explorative art education led to a PhD exploring the development of the Foundation Course in Art & Design and alternative approaches to art education. I have participated in various projects and roundtable discussions about art education at events and institutions including Tate Britain, Paris College of Art and Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
