Suzy Sureck is an internationally recognized multidisciplinary artist whose drawing, writing,
sculpture, and video installations involve physical and metaphoric qualities of wind, water,
and the poetics of shadow and light. Collaborating with nature, she draws with light to
create shadow play and experiential ecological installations and draws with inks through
water to reveal innate intuitive movement. Cross-pollinating disciplines, she merges
traditional media and technology to bring nature’s wisdom to audiences experientially
through text, image, audio, and video.
Suzy’s works have been exhibited in galleries, museums, sculpture parks, biennials, art foundations and alternative spaces in the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, Korea, Australia, and India. Recent works include projection performances in the Hudson Valley, Germany and New York’s Lincoln Center. She has been awarded residencies at MassMOCA, Yaddo, Virginia Center for Creative Arts, Art Omi, Studios of Key West, Vermont Studios and Arts, Letters Numbers. Her works have been reviewed in the New York Times, Hyperallergic, Sculpture Magazine, World Art, Flash Art and. New Observations. Suzy received a Masters’ Degree in Sculpture from Cranbrook Academy in Michigan and a BFA from the Cooper Union, as well as studying at The Slade School of Art in London. She lives and works in New York City and the Hudson Valley, and is an educator at Pratt Institute and DIA.
