Susan Cianciolo’s participatory practice is inspired by fashion, craft and domestic life. Her sculptures, drawings, and costumes are meaningful units of ephemera drawn from her life and work – the difference between the two, for Cianciolo, has always been wilfully eschewed. Her recent exhibitions have consisted of a series of filled boxes that Cianciolo terms ‘kits’ – a prototypical format of her work, which are assemblages of items from her archives that are reformulated as a tool-box cum biographical archive to be sifted through by visitors. In other projects, she has converted the space of a gallery into a working restaurant, its menus and table settings the props for an extended collective performance. Like her larger, participatory environments, Cianciolo’s sculptural works, tapestries, and drawings fold in disparate elements from the world outside, such as pressed flowers, recipes, and glitter.
