Angela Su
-
-
Angela Su’s practice is derived from her two divergent backgrounds–she received a degree in biochemistry in Canada before pursuing visual arts. Known for her intricate scientific drawings where delicacy of technique is contrasted with ambiguous and sometimes unsettling content, Angela Su combines in her works the analytical approach of a scientist with a deep sensitivity toward the felt, visceral experience. She connects her ideas through her imaginative drawings to this blending of science and alchemy, and recognizes the mutability or change, in species, whether human animal or the insect variety. Interested in science-fiction, medicine, and advanced computational technologies, her works (drawings, video, hair embroidery and installation) focus on the interrelations between our state of being and scientific technology, and more recently her mental and physical illness and social control.
