Sue Loughlin (she/her)
North East England
I am a freelance artist based at The NewBridge Project in Newcastle upon Tyne. My practice is rooted in installation, sculpture and painting, and encompasses education, social engagement, curation, and arts production.
My work is motivated by the shifting political, ideological and socio-economic climate as viewed through the lens of a mother of two girls. Through my practice, I invite contemplation of the systemic failings which surround us and explore modes of practice which aim to elicit an understanding of the world in order to change it for the better.
I am the founder of MOTHEROTHER, a regional initiative to support artists and art-working parents and carers, which I established in 2023. Additionally, I am the Community Connector for The Auxiliary Project Space, where I also design and deliver projects with schools and communities for The Middlesbrough Art Week and the Sonic Arts Week, Middlesbrough. I’m also one of the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art’s freelance team delivering workshops within the gallery, schools and communities across the region.
