Suzy Kellems Dominik has garnered a lot of attention in the last year. From her much talked about BADASSERY<\/a> series to her debut at SCOPE Miami Beach, we sat down with Suzy to chat about Art Basel, fashion and of course her art.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Art Zealous: Let’s start off light, drink order?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Suzy Kellems Dominik<\/strong>: Kettle One Martini, up, olives, filthy<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AZ: Astrological sign<\/strong><\/p>\n

SKD<\/strong>: Scorpio<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AZ: Muse<\/strong><\/p>\n

SKD<\/strong>: Life<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AZ: You\u2019re debuting a few pieces at SCOPE Miami Beach<\/a>, what can we expect to see from you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

SKD<\/strong>:\u00a0IN HER DREAMS.\u00a0In her dreams is the third in a trio of installations dissecting human interaction, relationships and expectations.\u00a0The sculptural work revolves around a young woman\u2019s relationship with her bed. \u00a0How the bed becomes a partner, a reservoir for her hopes, dreams and disappointments.\u00a0It is a work of emotional autobiography that is entirely universal. Therefore becomes utterly and irrevocable the art views own.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

HATEFUL LOVE. Hateful Love is a work of BADASSERY.\u00a0The series is a snapshot meant to lay bare an intense moment, beauty juxtaposed against ugliness. \u00a0It is the very complicated moment when love blossoms into something grander and grotesque, utterly unrecognizable from simple love.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AZ<\/strong>: You are known for your multi-sensory installations. What is the importance of the sight, sense, sound?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nSKD:<\/strong> My work is attuned to a short story, a snap shot into the soul. I believe it is my fearless, emotional autobiography that has drawn attention to my work. Senses engaged and intertwined with intellect and emotion are the playground of a truly glorious, human experience. There is a remarkable moment in each exposition, when it dawns on the art viewer that the beauty wrapped work is a shared base human experience.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AZ: What does your suitcase look like for Basel?<\/strong>
\nSKD<\/strong>: Goyard, emblazoned with the phrase, \u201cIf not now, than when.\u201d<\/p>\n

Contents, iconic with a twist of wit. \u00a0The iconic, museum worthy vintage couture, collected over many years.\u00a0My dear friend, Rita Watnick of Lily et Cie, has facilitated building my wardrobe and is unsurpassed in the depth of her taste and collection. The twist, a \u00a0\u201cWife Defender\u201d tee, never a \u201cWife Beater\u201d for me\u2026 and of course, all of my usual suspects; Hermes, Dior, Saint Laurent, McQueen and newcomer, Johnson Hartig\u2019s Libertine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AZ: Do you have an outfit for your IN HER DREAMS debut?<\/strong><\/p>\n

SKD<\/strong>: Better, I have an iconic, signature piece of jewelry! \u00a0I will don a necklace by Codnognato<\/a>, the uber-fab and coveted Venetian jeweler. \u00a0I am fortunate to have won the piece, at a Sotheby\u2019s auction, of the collection of the infinitely cultured and chic, late Dodi Rosecrans.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AZ: What are your thoughts on the interaction between fashion and art?<\/strong><\/p>\n

SKD:<\/strong> \u00a0Art and fashion are wedded, hand in hand. \u00a0They each exist within and to amplify a context of our society, to mark our civilization (or lack thereof) along with music and literature.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AZ: Dream collaboration<\/strong><\/p>\n

SKD<\/strong>: If I tell you will it come true?!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AZ: What do you have upcoming next?<\/strong><\/p>\n

SKD<\/strong>: WORK, WORK, WORK! \u00a0I am fortunate to be deep into my next series. \u00a0If you think my work is dark, hang onto your heart. \u00a0I am just getting started.<\/p>\n
