Susan Working


An independent studio furniture maker since 1981, Susan is the director of the wood facility at Anderson Ranch Arts Center, in Aspen CO. Her furniture based work constitutes a metaphor for the body. More importantly, Working believes the process of making is like the process of aging. Dissecting the role of the female artist in a male dominated medium, Susan concentrates on inviting a collision and knowledge of function and process. Searching for the unexpected, Susan looks at functional objects as improvisational ways to create narratives of her past experiences.
