Stephanie Sutton is an Assistant Professor of Art at Winthrop University, specializing in photography and expanded media. Her practice in self-portraiture asks viewers to question their relationship to the screen as a modern mirror. Using her own body through performances for the camera, she argues for the unique power the fat body has as a noncompliant, disruptive, and inescapable visual identity. Performances interweave rituals of labor and luxury to redefine notions of discipline and pleasure. Sutton's work is recognized for its success in transgressing the limits of the isolated subject and redirecting self-consciousness on to the viewer. She earned her MFA from the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia, and her BFA in studio art from the Ernest G. Welch School of Art & Design at Georgia State University. She lives and works near Rock Hill, South Carolina.
