Artists at Work: Heather Brammeier and Suzanne Dittenber

About

Heather Brammeier will present Carry Weight, Hold Light, an examination of how form and content “marry the difficult with the impossible,” in both her artwork and the work of others. Brammeier will discuss how curiosity and play in her studio leads to acquiring an intimacy with physical materials that is essential to manipulating space and light in her practice.

Suzanne Dittenber will present her research on books as an area of investigation in contemporary art. She will also discuss her latest project Formed, Informed which consists of cast sculptures of books, as well as recent paintings of these objects that introduce an aspect of circularity and self-reflection.
