Fragments and Fluidity, finding angels and fish, a timeline of practice in mosaic and encaustic; exploring, realigning and repurposing of the discarded.

Visual Artists Sue Leitch and Noula Diamantopoulos have been collaborating artistically since 2017.  They are both mosaic artists but also share other artistic interests including monoprinting and collage.  Their first collaboration was on a series titled The Angels and these were exhibited at Moonah Arts Centre in August 2024 and featured mosaic and encaustic techniques combined to produce celestial works of small angels.  

This work has now transitioned to explore the oceans and rivers with the focus of their current body of work moving through angel fish into other aquatic life forms in the depths or shallows of water.

The hard materials of mosaic practice meet the fluidity of encaustic wax to create mysterious celestial and underwater stories.

Using waste from one artistic practice to nurture the other, paint waste is included as an unconventional material in the mosaics alongside more traditional materials of glass, China, marble and stone.  Their practice includes the sharing of resources, often seeing differently what others have in storage waiting to be used.  There are guttural and intuitive responses to the placements of material by another to create work and then to take that work further.

Fragments, fractures
small matters that no longer matter…
Mosaic, collage, assemblage, bricolage…

Their work is fragmented practice, often separated by time and place, but through this practice and shared values, they are creating responses to each other’s work.

The exhibition is founded in reimagining the everyday and the exotic.  

The exhibition includes work from both the Angels and Fish series and will feature works that are more intimate in scale, and varied in materiality.

Fluidity fuses form.
