Susan Grabel

I am a figurative sculptor and printmaker. My work is inextricably tied to the social and political narratives of the world around me. I have explored issues such as consumerism, homelessness, alienation and aging women’s bodies using clay, cast paper, wood and found objects. My new work, Confluence, utilizes new digital technology to translate my collagraph prints and collages into large scale works in wood using a laser cutter and CNC router. Confluence reflects my hope and vision that by coming together, we, as a society, can move forward past the hyperbole of the current toxic political environment
