On Saturday, September 20, 2025 @sasmade completed her one-week Print+New Media residency with us!

Stephanie Sutton’s performances for the camera employ conventions of labor and ritual to complicate assumptions of discipline and destabilize virtues of self-control through the critical lenses of feminist theory, identity politics, and medical pathologies. Sutton’s work is recognized for its success in transgressing the limits of the isolated subject and redirecting self-consciousness onto the viewer. Sutton earned her MFA from University of Georgia, and her BFA at Georgia State University. She is currently Assistant Professor in Photography and Expanded Media at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina.

During her residency, Stephanie stated the following:

“After introducing myself to the various tech available, my project really took off after Andrew Deutsch showed me how to use the Sandin video processor. This setup was mesmerizing and I felt so fortunate to have Andrew show me mechanics of this legacy machine… Together with sample sounds – improvised violin, manipulated system sounds from 3D scanning – I’ll be taking this footage home and editing into a live quilt that can be projected across the screens in the Snodgrass Gallery and other configurations. I was inspired by the Black Magic broadcast screen walls, Joseph Albers color plates found and filmed in the library, as well as the changing foliage seen outside from the New Media studio windows.”
