Suné Woods’ makes immersive video installations, movement-based work, and collages that explore holistic healing practices and the wisdom that emerges through interspecies relations, ancestral knowledge, water, and plant spirit-led healing practices. Her work often uses waterscapes to reflect on existence, intimacy, and aquatic ecologies. She is contending with what it means to be present with the infiniteness of energies in a human vessel experience and to create utterances of the heart through visual languages.
Her work has been exhibited at The Everson Museum of Art, The Irish Museum of Modern Art, BRIC House in Brooklyn, NY and in Made in L.A. 2018 at the Hammer Museum. She has participated in residencies at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Headlands Center of the Arts, Vermont Studio Center, The Center for Photography at Woodstock, and Light Work.
Woods is a recipient of the 2022 California Community Foundation Fellowship for Visual Artists, 2020 Los Angeles Artadia Award, the Visions from the New California initiative, The John Gutmann Fellowship Award, and The Baum Award for an Emerging American Photographer. Woods has taught in art and visual studies departments at CalArts, Harvard University, and the University of California, Los Angeles.
