WEAVE ME A TALE
An eclectic designer offers up the unexpected
New York-based designer Suzanne Tick grew up in Bloomington, Illinois, building sculptures with materials scavenged from her father’s scrap metal business. “I am the fourth generation of a family of recyclers,” she says. “I started weaving as a way to connect with [my father’s] life. I weaved with cardboard, plastic, and hangers and developed a few experimental pieces. One of them ended up becoming a large-scale commission [for the Gates Foundation] entitled Refuse DC and uses 3,470 metal hangers.” Tick is now represented by Cristina Grajales Gallery and her work tours the world. She adds, “I’m working on the next generation, a handwoven series made of washed-up mylar balloons. I have been picking them up from the beach and collecting them for a while now.” At the University of Iowa, Tick began as a printmaker, etching texture into copper (she also earned an associate degree in Applied Arts from the Fashion Institute of Technology). But a er enrolling in a weaving class, she found her true calling: combining unexpected and diverse materials to create textiles and unique art pieces. And the designer is nothing if not proli c, lending her talents to a range of companies and projects. Tick founded Tuva Looms Inc. in 1996 with Terry Mowers in collaboration with Bloomsberg Carpet, and in 2008, she launched her rst glass endeavor, Collection in Whites for Skyline Design, consisting of 10 pa erns on glass inspired by weave structures. “It was about so ening the hard surface of glass and giving it a textile quality,” she explains. And earlier this year, she developed her awardwinning Jot drapery with KnollTextiles. “Using scanning and glass printing technology and etching we developed a
2

series of pa erns that explored scale change, texture, and technical aesthetics.” Of course, the designer also heads up Suzanne Tick Inc., specializing in material development for commercial and residential interiors, including textiles, hard surfacing, glass, carpet, woven metal screens, and lighting. Next up, she is working with Tandus Flooring—where she is the design director—on a custom hospitality project for corridors and room entryways. No ma er what material she is working with, Tick is able to see the art potential in any medium. “Each one has its own unique set of circumstances,” she says. hd
