F-Stop Magazine - Issue: Staying Home Together

Honored to be a part of F-Stop Magazine’s group exhibition for the Staying Home Together issue. I’ve always admired and respected this photography magazine so I’m happy to share that some of my recent work from P A N D E M I C is included in this issue. The group exhibition contains 197 photographers from all over the world and the collection of photographs certainly speak to the times we are currently in. Enjoy the work!

Interview with Defunkt Magazine

The last event I attended in 2020 before it became apparent Covid was going to rock our world was in Houston on March 12th. It was for Houston’s art and literature magazine, Defunkt Magazine. Social distancing wasn’t totally a thing quite yet, but there was hand sanitizer and people were bumping elbows, not shaking hands. Things were just starting to get really weird.

I’m so glad that was my last outing - I even road tripped it from Austin that day to table my artwork that was selected in Volume III. The best part was meeting the folks running this magazine that support artists and art that is not purely mainstream. I LOVE Houston. It is the antithesis of the glossy, homogenous, rampant capitalist, influencer culture that Austin is. At this launch party I had conversations that made me feel understood and I heard the best poetry readings/slam that have crossed my ears in over a decade.

Back in April, Miranda Ramirez who is a founder and co-editor of Defunkt Magazine, interviewed me for Volume IV. We talk a bit about my background, how I came to be an artist, the experience of being a former art educator, and talk more intimately about the experience/influences of making my body of work To Record Water for Only Ten Days. I’m super honored to be a part of Volume III and IV. Thank you Miranda + all the folks at Defunkt for your support. What you are doing and putting out in the world is meaningful. xo

Austin Art Talk Podcast / Episode 89: Suzanne Koett - What is important to us now?

I had an incredibly wonderful conversation recently with Scott David Gordon on his podcast Austin Art Talk discussing all kinds of things! We chatted about my new series P A N D E M I C, our love of film photography, and delved into some of my recent and older bodies of work that carry the same themes of interconnectedness and the human condition. I feel gratitude for being able to have such an open, understanding, and honest conversation with Scott about art and life - especially while we are living in such a bizarre time!

Have a listen here and thank you Scott for having me on!
