Visiting Artist: Susanna Coffey

Susanna Coffey is best known for her painted self-portraits. These front facing heads are set against abstract backdrops that evoke violence or unrest, while the focus on symmetry in her work evokes the reminder for balance. Through her portraits, Coffey expresses the frustration of the ever changing and morphing identity of the individual and the unrealistic idea of a constant form.
