| Suzanne Banning | |
Born in Hengelo (Overijssel) the Netherlands in 1973. Currently lives and works in Houston, TX, USA. |
|
| About the Artist | |
Suzanne Banning is an artist who uses photography as her medium. Her process is a very experimental one; she dances and sings with her camera in her hand, taking pictures sort of randomly, but still controlled. Her music takes her to a different place, into a kind of trance, where the body disintergrates into surreal layers of foggy forms. |
