2023 Members Juried Exhibition Director’s Prize Winner Suzanne Theodora White’s series Dry Stone No Sound of Water is a deeply layered, textured look at how we see the landscape. Her constructions beg us to look deeper, to explore the frame, finding something familiar, yet seeing the world differently. Her still life images combine pieces of nature and photography to create new landscapes for us to transit.
I have a profound connection to the natural world and the human impact on our environment has been an overriding theme in my work throughout my years as an artist. The farm that I live on and have worked for decades, is my muse, where I record changes linked to climate disruption, time, and memory. Through an inter-disciplinary practice including photography, video, and site-specific installations, I explore issues of life, death, grief, and our cultural disconnect from nature. With my work I am asking, can art carry the burden of remembering the past, while confronting what the future may hold? From a fixed point on the map, I am a traveler through the Anthropocene.
