Texas-based artist Susannah Mira’s artwork comes from her deep desire to transform ordinary things. Though source materials vary—originating from industry, retail, or the home—her work is always the result of tactile experimentation in the studio. By applying the simplest connections, like stuffing, stacking, folding, and stringing, she generates clusters, piles, and blobs, not to mention the errant suspended line, showing that spectacular results can come from the humblest of origins.
She has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, and has been awarded nearly two dozen artist residencies throughout North America.
Often my process begins by reading about the material itself, how it was harvested or made, applications it has or has filled in the past. Of special interest to me are those materials that reveal the history or the contemporary nature of a specific region or industry, and figuring out how to express that through form.
