Sue Uhlig
Sue Uhlig is an artist and art educator who is currently working on her Ph.D. in Art Education at Penn State University. In her dissertation, she uses a research-creation approach to explore how collections can be sites of collaboration and participatory practice. In her research, she also investigates how a gift economy can help make and unmake the collections, which strengthens a sense of community and underscores the importance of sustainability. Her creative practice is multi-sensory and incorporates layers of found objects, photography, drawings, text, and sound to create cabinets of curiosity in books, small boxes, and large rooms, often with public participation.
