Africa’s No 1 Arts Bookstore and Publisher

It had all the appearances of what it meant to be carved out from the outer of its interior but truly it was a masquerade a falsity shrouded in blindness unkept yet surfacly groomed. Its appearance gleamed of perfection. Daunting in its glamour and its ability to seduce arousing, it served its purpose well. It contented all. Yet deeper below the underbelly, the soft spoken part left exposed and vulnerable, was this and only this. No more or less simply, a confiscated counterfeit of denial and undeniably yet falsely true.

Susan Hornbeak-Ortiz’s profound, emotionally-charged sculptural works and installations have been widely exhibited in both the U.S. and Europe. t r u e, the artist’s contribution to our One Picture Book series, blankets the reader/listener in waves of red warmth. Comprising twelve details of a frame from the artist’s film Sacrifice, embedded with lines from her poem True, the book and its accompanying audio CD leave one breathless and longing for that which is already near.

A master of orchestration, Hornbeak-Ortiz combines a variety of unconventional artistic elements to describe the complexities of woman’s nature. – Artweek
