Visitors engage with Susan Begy's in-process Entanglement graphite drawing project featured at State of the City exhibition
at Rochester Contemporary Art Center, October 2022

the Office of the Governor and the NYS Legislature and administered by the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts.
Completed Entanglement drawing. 33 ft x 5 ft, graphite on paper
In her drawings, Susan Begy uses large twisted forms made up of smaller images to tell narratives.
Using similar twisted forms, she makes carved stone sculptures that often incorporate materials such as steel, glass, or found objects.
Power dynamics, polarity, and hypocrisy, are key themes in Begy's work.
Her sculptures and drawings, simultaneously elegant and uncomfortable, often reflect upon nurturance and conflict.
Her collaborative projects playfully reimagine human interactions and institutions.
