Roots Detail Images
Artwork Description
Roots, the fourth work in the “Creation” series, making its debut at the Municipal Gallery of Mykonos for Suki’s first solo exhibition, is a conceptual representation of the continents of Earth unified as a single blooming tree.
Highly textural, the artwork features over 350 individual, handmade wire and enamel flowers and roots. It is displayed in a grid of 24 canvases depicting a tree in a gradient of full blooms with a contrasting gradient background. The background gradually transitions from dark to light symbolizing both the daily cycle of day to night, and the seasonal, climatic changes of our planet. Below the main grid, a single “informing” canvas reveals a tiny human cocooned in the tree’s roots, dreaming reality into existence through a tiny cupule hat. This figure suggests that all of created reality is influenced by even the smallest imaginings.
The artwork incorporates eight distinct floral species. Seven species represent the continents—six varieties of blooming trees and one ground plant—while the addition of the Olive species represents global unity and peace as well as Suki’s connection to Greece. Antarctica, the only continent without blooming trees, is represented by the pearlwort flowers on the ground below the tree; one of only two native varieties of plants that bloom there.
Roots explores the duality of separation and profound connection. Though the world is broken into continents (visually represented by the fragmented image spanning the grid of canvases as well as the multiple varieties of flowers), the piece asserts that we are indisputably connected and invites the viewer to consider how individual imaginings contribute to our collective reality.

Earth Detail Images
Artwork Description
Earth, third in Suki Liebow’s Creation series, is an exploration of a changing planet, a visual representation of a system failing, and an invitation to recognize our role in visualizing and implementing a new direction.
Whether the topic is climate change, government, social, or personal, systems and relationships are constantly changing. Earth is a reminder that while we may have a crisis on our hands, we also have agency and a responsibility to contribute our own vision, narrative, and action to create the kind of world we want to live in.
Description: In the informing panel (top), a tiny human waters a garden in the clouds causing rain that forms a solar system including the earth represented in the 38 panels below. The earth, beginning as a grid, is interrupted by an odd size panel which causes the “system” to become erratic and fall apart.
In space surrounding Earth are three small panels. In one, a tiny human is seen physically mending the earth with needle and thread while visualizing a whole, unbroken planet. In another, a tiny human observes the planets and changes happening around them, and in the third, a tiny girl reads a book titled “how to save the world,” her thoughts actively forming new planets as she visualizes the future.
In this artwork there are over 500 handmade wire and enamel elements representing 23 rare, endangered or extinct species of flowers and pollinators, along with 2 animal species; polar bears and empire penguins.

Gardening Detail Images
Artwork Description
Gardening, the second work in the Creation series, is a whimsical depiction of the creation of joy.
In a world often defined by grief and divisiveness, this work is an invitation to consider how the smallest actions contribute to the larger reality we all share. Joy, like suffering, can be created. The piece challenges the viewer to recognize their agency and responsibility in actively creating the world they want to live in.
The piece features a tiny human spraying a garden hose beyond the borders of the canvas, launching water into space and subsequently creating multiple “worlds” from this single, small action. Along the streams of water, a multitude of intricately handmade elements—flowers, birds, pollinators, and even the sun—emerge, illustrating the expansive impact of a modest act. Each water “droplet” contains a unique, delightful scene with its own handmade 3-dimensional element, tangibly drawing the concept into the reality of the viewer.

My Love Detail Images
Artwork Description
My Love, first in the Creation Series, is made up of 50 6”x 6” panels informed by one panel to the right with a small girl blowing bubbles into the void. It could be interpreted that this tiny one is the beginning of everything; of life, perhaps.
Suki’s intention with this piece was to capture the sweetness of life in each bubble.
At times fragmented into separate panels but ultimately all part of the connected whole, each bubble captures a moment; of companionship, solitude, our beautiful planet, and the experiences that remind us that in the chaos, what matters is this.
Note: Each tiny wire element is designed and handmade with wire and enamel by the artist.
“Bloom“ – A 24 hour Collaboration with Rahchayl Rain (aka “Mom”)
Graphite and mixed media on canvas
21″ x 48″ x 1.5″
2020
Artwork Description
Bloom, a pivotal work in Suki Liebow’s career, is her first multi-panel creation that integrates three-dimensional elements into a two-dimensional plane.
The piece was created by Suki Liebow and her Mother during a 24-hour art marathon (artathon) in 2019/2020. During this project, Suki’s mother introduced her to the wire and enamel medium, resulting in a dramatic pivot in the direction of Suki’s work, and ultimately leading to ever-increasing layers of complexity and mastery of the craft.
Bloom captures 24 tiny joys in simple graphite sketches alongside a three-dimensional flower made of mixed media. The 24 canvases represent the 24 continuous hours of creation, while the intricate jewelry chain symbolizes the connectivity of each moment as a collective whole.
This work profoundly represents the beginning of a progressive theme of joy in Suki’s body of work.
