Susan Aydan Abbott is a multidisciplinary artist, currently living and working in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her evocative projects explore the intricate narratives of flesh, focusing on poignant social issues interwoven with personal experiences.           

             Central to her work are feminist issues, violence against women, and the erosion of reproductive rights. These themes, reflective of her own history and the collective experiences of women, are powerfully symbolized through the literal incorporation of female body parts. This approach allows Abbott to craft a narrative that is both personal and universally resonant, inviting audiences to introspect on shared experiences. 

          Her art also uniquely integrates architectural elements and landscapes, serving as emotional vessels that ground her memories and experiences. This integration creates a sense of disassociation from trauma, allowing her to convey complex emotions while maintaining a present-day connection. Susan's work rides the line between raw emotional expression and sensitivity, using haunting visuals to elicit visceral reactions from viewers, compelling them to address the weight of unresolved trauma and shame.

         Abbott has shown in solo, group shows locally and nationally as well as attended residencies in Hamilton Ontario (Center3) and Feminist art Collective in Toronto. Her work was spotlighted on Canada Council website in 2018
