Sandra Binion

Sandra Binion is an interdisciplinary artist with training in classical ballet as well as fine arts. Binion began incorporating film and video into her performance pieces in the early 1980’s and soon decided to pursue an MFA in filmmaking from from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1992. Binion’s work has since underwent a further expansion in the early 2000s beginning a serious practice of painting and digital photography. Binion’s photographic work often focuses on details of surface, light, architecture and bodies—crystallizing, in a sense, the ongoing interests in site, space, gesture, and the choreography of the everyday. At present, video, photography, and painting have now become synergistic elements in multi-disciplinary thematic projects intended for exhibition.
