Susan Clarahan left our residency (In House Outer Space, Iceland) today after being with us for a month. Can’t wait to see what will appear on film from her vintage and antique cameras. It has been a pleasure to follow along on her “sparkle path”. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

BIO:

Susan Clarahan seeks a wild and feminine understanding of sensuality, intimacy, landscape, community, and beauty. Clarahan creates a sense of wonder at the natural world, using both performance and landscape to engage the senses and connect with nature. She lives in the Rocky Mountains.

✨🏔✨

This series of photographs builds a world in images that coalesces nature and bodies in a feminine exploration of sexuality, landscape, and ritual under waterfalls, wind and shimmering sunlight. Clad in sparkling, hand-stitched garments, performers engage in intimacies and invocations as they connect bodily with the wild landscape and each other. We are invited into moments unfolding off camera. 📷 zuzu_knew
