Summary
of experience
Sue
Callanan has been creating sculptural installations for the last 25 years. Many
of her works come about through acts of walking and observing the minutia of
changes in the physical environment and the human response to it. She makes
‘minimal interventions’ with objects, words or markings, revealing what exists
within the site and the overlay of human interaction.
Some of
the works are spontaneous and ephemeral, whilst others are more formally
conceived and executed. She has exhibited in galleries and public spaces in
