Susan Silton

Susan Silton is a photographic and video-based artist living in Los Angeles. Her work explores how observations are shaped and distorted by socialization and by media, and how perception frames and limits our definitions of identity. This conceptual framework is supported by the use of diverse media—including photographic-based processes, video, installation, and offset lithography—which collectively challenge viewers’ assumptions about what and how they perceive. For the last several years, her work increasingly utilizes motion or the implication of motion as a strategy to elude categorization and defy definition. Silton’s work has been exhibited in Los Angeles at Angles Gallery, Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects, Rosamund Felsen Gallery, Robert V. Fullerton Art Museum, Craig Krull Gallery, Armory Center for the Arts/Pasadena, and the Municipal Art Gallery, as well as at the Ansel Adams Center/Friends of Photography in San Francisco and internationally in Berlin and Frankfurt. Currently her work was included in New Acquisitions/New Work/New Directions 3: Contemporary Selections at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. She is the recipient of a Phelan Award in Photography, was an artist in residence at the Banff Centre for the Arts, Canada, in 2001 and will be an artist in residence at the MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire in 2002. Silton is a recent grantee of the COLA individual artist award for 2002-2003.
