Su Friedrich

I was most interested in Su Friedrich's work because it is so personal to her. And hearing her speak about her work and her thought process and the people and things that moved her to make her art drew me in to her films more so than before. Though I may not know her stories, I can read stories in her films, and I read a sense of history and the past. This overall feeling is something I strive to obtain in my own work, as well as her ability to make deeply personal work that is somehow at the same time completely universal. I was really taken with her videos, and even more pleased to be able to hear her lecture and know her life and stories that become the work.
