Entry Gallery
Susan Lyman is the third and final Entry Gallery Project Space (EGPS) artist to exhibit her work during the 2024-2025 season.
“Working both as a painter and a wood sculptor, my work has long been inspired by the landscapes of the three habitats where I have been spending my time: Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, Michigan’s northern woods, and Outer Cape Cod’s coastal environment. However, in the last several years my view of landscape as a subject has shifted. I have felt an increasing urgency to express the sorrow and loss I feel over the destruction of and disregard for this planet earth that we share with all humankind and all forms of life.
Since I began making art in Tucson eight winters ago, the environmental devastation occurring at the border wall during the 45th POTUS wall construction has been eating at my heart. I felt compelled to bear witness to this destruction, which is explored in my ongoing series, Postcards from the Border. I find inspiration in the investigative photography and writing of photojournalists covering the border, and also work from my own photographs taken in the borderlands. As the series has progressed, I have been using multiple or layered images to create a re-imagined landscape.”
