Bio
Susan Benarcik is an installation artist and surface designer based in New York City. Her work is
exhibited across the country in private collections, sculpture parks and museums such as the Brooklyn
Botanic Garden, Lyman Allyn Art Museum and the Delaware Center Contemporary Art. The artist is
the recipient of a 2009 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Award, and the 2006 E. Avery Draper Award for
Outstanding Craft Exhibition at the DCCA.
Evidencing a fondness and respect for honest and simple materials, Benarcik incorporates both recycled
and newly manufactured sustainable materials into highly tactile and evocative contemplative compositions.
The artist’s concern for the environment is made evident as she takes elemental forms of the natural world
and carefully transforms them by stacking, stringing, layering, knotting, and weaving them into dimensional
sculpture for public and private spaces. These interior and exterior compositions become part of our daily
cognitive experience, and bring equilibrium to our senses
The artist has a Master’s degree in printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art. She was an apprentice
at the Fabric Workshop of Philadelphia, a Core Fellow at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas and
is currently a fellow with CFEVA; the Creative Fellowship for Emerging Visual Artists in Philadelphia.
She continues to design and install site-responsive and living installations for green spaces.
