Brown Bag Faculty Lecture: Suzanne Peck
Suzanne Peck, lecturer in RIT's Glass program, is presenting as part of the College of Art and Design's weekly Brown Bag Faculty Lecture Series. Her talk is scheduled for noon to 12:50 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 26, in William Harris Conference Room (Gannett Hall, 2155).
Peck is hyperverbal, opinionated and hungry. She makes things with words and stuff. Sensual smart things. Icky itchy stuff. Peck thinks thing and stuff are slippery ineffectual delicious words.
Peck has her MFA in glass from the Rhode Island School of Design. Indeed, glass provides continued inspiration in her work, even when the substance itself is absent (isn’t glass always, in a way, absent?). Using glass, textiles and performance, her art practice considers touch, social structures and skin through the lens of sculpture and installation.
The work itself is varied— a simple exquisite object. Room-sized installations of sound, video, sculpture and scent. Food and feasting. Performances that seek to enthrall, titillate and connect. Her work strives to make her viewer feel— feel uncomfortable, feel the hairs raise on their arms, feel the need to touch their neighbor on the subway. She is into irreverence and sincerity.
