The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee Art Gallery is featuring the work of Susan Harrison, a seasoned artist educator who has been an exhibiting member of Pyro Gallery in Louisville, KY since 2005. The show is titled “Keeping Cozy During COVID and Crossing Paths.” It will run through Nov. 6 at the St. Andrew’s Sewanee Gallery.
Over the years Harrison has developed art installations concerning the nature of comfort and security, recently creating “COVID comfort blankets” and personal flotation devices as a metaphor for how people keep themselves afloat and navigate troubled times. Currently she is a high school art teacher in Louisville, an instructor for the Kentucky Governor’s School for the Arts and maintains her personal studio at Brick Street Art Studio, located in New Albany. Her work is often a hybrid of 2D printmaking elements with 3D woven or constructed forms.
