About Me

My photo
My name is Suzanne Lea. I am a Southerner by choice, having lived most of my adult life below the Mason-Dixon line. My work has been influenced by the darker parts of Southern tradition--strict religious views, conservative politics, and a history of discrimination. My work has also been influenced by the beautifully unique parts of the South--bare feet stained red with river mud, the sweetest of sweet teas, and the slow, rhythmic heartbeat of life found only along the shiny buckle of the Bible Belt. I am a news junkie, a pop culture addict, and an artist. My goal as an artist is to create distinctive and compelling things from re-purposed material. I can think of no better place to start than with language, disentangled and rearranged, creating by choice, or by happenstance, something meaningful along the way.

Welcome to the Thunderdome

During Trump's speech last night, a reporter asked a young man what motivated him to vote for Trump. He said he'd been watching Harris/Walz events on TV and the net. He came to his final decision because he thought the Dem ticket seemed, "too good to be true." Have a little think on that for a second. I'll wait. In other news, medicines that fight disease seem too good to be true so I'm voting for the Cancer/Covid ticket.
