RAiR | 1996-97

Sue Wink

Susan Wink is a studio artist who earned an MFA from Indiana University in 1983. She was the art faculty director of the ceramic program at Central Michigan University from 1985 to 1996. In 1996 Sue accepted a Roswell Artist-in-Residence grant and commission to construct a community-based public artwork for the City of Roswell. Finding sculptural work rewarding and the land enchanting, Sue lived in New Mexico for 20 years, developing a successful track record of public art projects throughout the region. The piece in the RAiR 50th anniversary show wais a new series inspired by her return to the dense woodlands of Michigan and a dream about RAiR founder Don Anderson. In the dream, Don emphasized the importance of two words: Truth – Amore. A memorable dream with a profound message speaking to the fundamental spirit of all life.
