BIO
Bouncing around a dusty dirt road in Georgia, a young Suzy rides in the truck with her mom. Loaded with a cooler in the back, her mom pulls over, collecting a carcass to go to the taxidermist. Suzy’s home, road kill ranch, is home to taxidermy road kill, dogs, brothers, a peacock, horses, and a pig named Barbeque.
Years later she is standing in a small maasai village in Kenya made up of mud huts. Flies swarming, one of the warriors walks out with a cow for a blood letting ceremony. The neck is punctured with a dull blade, letting the blood seep into a gourd filled with cows milk and urine. These unique experiences spurred Suzy’s curiosity of death, life, rebirth and humans connection to nature. Fascinated by the complexity of life, she has worked with a variety of materials included animal parts to explore the creative process. |
