Tracy Abbott Szatan

ABOUT


Tracy Abbott Szatan (pronounced “shah-tin”) is an interdisciplinary artist working across glass, film, photography, and installation to contemplate materials, mechanisms, and histories of imagemaking. Her recent work considers the relationship of lenses and optical technologies to earth materials in order to foreground the natural and manmade processes of transformation that are the bases of photography and other imaging technologies, tying geologic material transformation to everyday human acts of perception. Optical technologies and media become sites where deep time and embodied seeing converge. Szatan received her BA in Modern Culture and Media from Brown University and her MFA in Art from The Ohio State University. She has programmed film and video work with the NYC DIY video art series Straight Through the Wall and co-founded the screening program Cinéseries at The Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio. Her work has exhibited internationally. Recent residencies include the Penland School for Craft and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.
