Many of our AZ readers are city dwellers, so we’ve all most likely been in situations where we freak out – when it’s difficult to control the way we see, talk, and breathe – where vision becomes blurry, and the world spins. This chaos could happen randomly, triggered by seemingly mundane occurrences like sound, wind, large crowds, even solitude. Brooklyn-based artist Megan Suttles<\/a> knows this struggle is all too real. In fact, her art is mostly based on anxiety and control, exploring the eternal conflict between restraint and disorder – the way we tend to conceal our inner confusion with the outward appearance of refinement and perfection.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Suttles’ work has become focused on revealing the chaos, making the invisible struggle visible. She works with everyday materials like aluminum tubing, packing tape, and bobby pins, and through gestural installations on both paper and in space, she reveals her understanding of the difference between uncertainty and certainty. Building on this concept even further, Suttles’ recent work consists of gestural chaotic forms but contained within a structure or some type of geometric shape.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
