I couldn't unpeach the peaches. Nor can I remember ever having seen without understanding; the color patches of infancy are now gone.

-Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

Sue Murad responds to culture through an intuitive, sensory engagement with every day objects, often in the public or private places they inhabit. Through a combination of attention, study, and play, she may alter, arrange, and choreograph a subject, or set up situations where change and chance happen without direct contact, such as a subject melting, falling, or sliding. She is drawn to both semblance and difference, and the strange and surreal synthesis that can occur with comparison and contrast. Disregarding notions of usefulness, common meaning, and prescribed narratives, these formal and philosophical explorations feed her interdisciplinary practice of performance, installation, sculpture, collage, and film.
