Susan Tratechaud Kurland is interested in 3-dimensional and the human figure as they pertain to women’s work. Ms. Tratechaud-Kurland has worked with textiles as a seamstress in theaters and private industry as well as a weaver. In addition to textile experience, she has completed her education in ceramic sculpture where these elements are combined to create her unique sculptures. It is through these experiences as well as the interactions she has shared with her mother, sister and friends working together in what has traditionally been thought of as women’s work that she draws her inspirations.
