Susanna Coffey, Resident Artist Lecture 2007

Painter Susanna Coffey incorporates readings from literature and philosophy into this narrative about her personal journey as an artist. The accompanying images, primarily of her own work, illustrate the evolution of her interests, and the questions at the end of the lecture provoke comments about her art practice and the reasoning behind specific elements of that practice, such as her use of props, why hair is minimized in her portraits, and her preferences as to how the portraits are exhibited.
