is a multi-disciplinary artist working in Denver, Colorado. Suchitra was born in Guyana, South America, but has also lived in Halifax and Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Philadelphia, New York City, Minneapolis, and Udaipur, India. These diverse natural and cultural environments have greatly influenced her work and research. While her practice includes a wide range of materials and ideas, her primary interests include 1) the complex relationship between the natural and artificial worlds and 2) the questioning of historical and authoritative narratives, especially those surrounding colonialism. Through painting, fiber, drawing, collage, installation, video, and sculpture, she weaves narratives of “the other,” invoking fractured landscapes and reclaiming cultural artifacts (often colonial and domestic in nature).

A traditionally trained ceramicist, Katie McColgan holds a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and is currently a master’s student at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Her work explores the everyday through vigorous and exacting replication of household objects. During the COVID lockdown, McColgan returned to painting because of space limitations in her home. This inspired to create forms which could also live on the walls. She is currently hand-tufting rugs and using the remnants to create separate wall-hangings.
