Suzanne Dittenber
Suzanne Dittenber’s work exists in a space between representation and allegory, parsing books as physical objects from their expected use as vehicles of communication. These simple objects become containers for questions about how knowledge is mediated and expressed. To approach books as subject matter is to engage ideas of story and setting. Dittenber’s work thereby suggests internal intellectual landscapes and psychological narratives.
Suzanne Dittenber has exhibited work at Whitespace Gallery, Atlanta; Indianapolis Art Center; and Florida State University, Tallahassee, among others.
