ARTIST STATEMENT 2024
I have always identified myself as an artist. My grandmother told me I was a reincarnated artist and I believed her. I was fortunate to grow up in the AZ desert. My grandfather taught me to read rocks. Hiking and dirt biking around acres of desert and gazing at magical sunsets and in awe of the starlit skies. Since childhood I felt I’ve had a symbiotic relationship with nature.
In college, I took mostly art classes. While in school, and after, I worked as a printmaker for an art press where I learned from older artists. While at the art press, I worked on fashioning my own style doing monoprints, sculpture and paintings. Fortunately, my concentration on the abstract vision of nature matched what galleries and art centers were searching for and my work began to be exhibited all over the southwest. Soon, I started to show in Los Angeles and have since exhibited all over America; and from India to Budapest. I moved to LA and then to New York. When my husband, Bruce Bauman, the novelist, and I received a dual live-work residency at the 18th Street Art Center in Santa Monica. When the residency ended, we stayed in LA. I’d missed the ability to immerse myself in nature's gifts of an ocean, mountains, and desert in close proximity which inspires and energizes my art.
In 2000, we were awarded a residency at the Sanskriti Center in New Delhi, India, with its spectacular colors and multiple varied landscapes, which added a new dimension to my work. I started a method of painting where I used the Mandala symbol, familiar in both Eastern and Western tradition. I began doing controlled pours, using gravity to actively move the paint. When I got home, I wanted to expand and work on perfecting this new method and vision. After much experimentation, I designed my “gravity easel” which I fabricated. I manipulate the table using gravity to create natural phenomenas in sizes up to 6’x10’. I worked and exhibited constantly, despite the bad luck of having 19 operations for oral cancer in 22 years.
In 2018, I was diagnosed with a near lethal cancer. I underwent more surgeries and radiation. I was lucky to survive. I’d taken care of myself since the age of sixteen. Now, my husband became my caretaker because I couldn’t eat or speak. Making art again felt almost like a fantasy. I wasn’t sure what would happen to me if I couldn’t make art. I still sold my work during this time, but that was not the same as creating. I needed new art but all my strength went into recovering.
Finally, after almost 4 years I began to slowly return to my studio. I started, slowly, using a smaller version of my gravity easel. I didn’t know what to expect. How would the cancer have changed my art? I’ve never run out of ideas. Looking at images from the Hubble telescope excited me. Nature and science always have. I decided to jump in and let whatever had stored up and changed within me to infuse my art practice. I tried using new surfaces such as plexiglass as well as my usual gesso boards. I began designing fiberglass sculptures for the first time in decades. It took some time to recover my confidence and recall the muscle memory of my practice. Soon, it all came back. I moved from my small table to my original easel. I designed fiberglass sculptures that meshed with my paintings for the first time in decades. They are wild and life affirming. In my paintings, people have always seen vastly different things, but mostly they say it’s somewhere or something in nature. I am eager to see what people will bring to my new work. I am grateful to Tressa Williams for her encouragement and affording me to the opportunity to exhibit.
Years ago, I called a show “Cracks in the Light,” taken from a quote by Leonard Cohen: “There’s a crack in everything that’s how the light gets in.” The last five years have brought new cracks and different light. No doubt, my art has changed. What has not changed is that my art is part of an infinite universe because, in the end, everything -- our beings and our art, are just bits of cosmic dust.
BIOGRAPHY
Suzan Woodruff was born in Phoenix, AZ. From an early age, she began exploring the desert, immersing herself in endless spaces and spectacular natural vistas that would later become essential to her art. She was raised by her gold-prospector grandparents who taught her how to “read” rocks and by her mother, who lived a distinctly Arizona-bohemian lifestyle. She remains an avid hiker, biker, boogie boarder and readaer of rocks as well as books. Woodruff received an art scholarship to attend Arizona State University. She soon began exhibiting her work and left Arizona for Los Angeles and New York. Woodruff lives and works in Los Angeles with her husband, novelist Bruce Bauman, and their two dogs.
