Artist Statement/ Biography

Using an interdisciplinary approach, artist Sue Beyer focuses on ideas relating to Instruction Based Art, transformation and the in-between. She uses physical, digital and virtual mediums, combined to create single works or installations. The different mediums are layered on top of each other like a giant collage that can cover walls and floors. Sue is currently working on an ongoing project, We Are Data that began in August 2022 and looks at ‘what it means to be human’. Sue references data she gathers from the internet and the physical world, and using various techniques the data is transformed and presented to tell a story.
