With her brother Pete Hill she has made many large scale carnival images and earth sculptures, including the iconic Mudmaid in the Lost Gardens of Heligan.
She has travelled widely through her work, with performances, commissions and seminars in Greece, Cyprus, Portugal, Brazil, Russia, Georgia, Canada, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Ireland, Malta, France, Kosovo, South Africa, India, Egypt, U.S.A. and China.
Sue has designed, with Bill, every WILDWORKS project, building a village out of wrecked boats in Malta, a treehouse round a huge eucalyptus tree overlooking the Green Line in Nicosia, and a fishing shanty town (that the company lived in during rehearsal and performance) on the quay at Hayle in Cornwall. For Souterrain she has helped to create the Underworld anew in each location – a village, a fortress, a department store, a school and a derelict convent. Her special area of interest is the role of culture and art in building and sustaining communities. She is one of the summer school tutor team.
Sue was born and educated in Cornwall.
