Assistant Professor Suzanne Gonsalez began teaching photography for the University of North Dakota in 2008. She received her BFA from the University of New Mexico and her MFA from the University of Kentucky. The imagery of Gonsalez’s photographs contains the metaphor of myths and dreams. Using the contemporary framework of her personal history and environment, she explores personal loss, religious and cultural identities as well as the qualities of everyday life. One of her current bodies of work, INTERIORS, is a series of prints based upon facets of everyday life expressed through the eye of abstraction. This portfolio documents elements of my life that hint at both a real world as well as an illusionary one. This gives way to the discussions of ordinary events viewed through the veil of eroticism of the everyday.
