simiya sudduth

my birthday 3

a place for reflection, inspiration, regurgitation, collection: a digital sketchbook.

simiya received her bfa in sculpture from webster university in st. louis in may 2009.

her work, primarliy manifesting itself in the form of sculpture, installation and drawing, leans heavily towards an exploration of our relationships with nature.  she exploits the  perceived notions of fragility and delicacy in regards to a permanent, industrial materials such as porcelain, threads and paper and comparing and contrasting these ideas with the reality of our fragile ecosystems and our connections {or a lack of} to living beings other than ourselves.

she is also  co-founder of the speckled owl collective, an art and craft collective which can be found here.

she is currently an artist in residence at the luminary center for the arts in st. louis missouri until august 2009.
