Susan Cianciolo's new artist's book.
Susan Cianciolo puts love into everything she creates. Long recognized for her clothing line, Run, Cianciolo's boundless creativity is evident throughout her multifaceted practice, which includes designing books, theatre costumes, films and forms of ephemera that defy the categorizations of fashion, craft and art. Appreciation for Cianciolo's tender sensibilities has been celebrated with recent exhibitions at Bridget Donahue Gallery in New York, Overduin & Co. in Los Angeles and the South London Gallery. Her work ushers our understanding of clothing away from the flighty world of trends and towards an awareness of spirituality and imagination.
