Catelin Mathers Suter

Catelin Mathers-Suter was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts and spent her senior year in high school at the National High School for the Fine Arts in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Upon earning her BFA (Rhode Island School of Design), she received two grants to live and create art for six months in Cuba. In 2008 she earned her MFA from the Slade School of Fine Arts in London. Catelin presently resides in Boston.

My work explores the complex dynamic between the structures humans design and build and the needs these creations simultaneously serve and undermine. I dissect/question/ celebrate the array of effects our parking lots, high rises, highways and malls have had on present day life and on the contemporary imagination.
