About the Artwork

Suné Woods’s (Headlands Artist in Residence ‘12) work takes the form of video installations, photographs, and collage. Of People in the Police Organization, utilizing a police training manual as some of its source material, Woods notes, “This was made in 2015, when people being killed by the police were being captured by cell phones and circulated through news and social media. There exists a blue wall of silence in which police officers cover up abuse by other officers, which was illuminated by former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner in 2013.” Woods’s work was exhibited in Made in L.A. 2018, curated by Anne Ellegood and Erin Christovale at the Hammer Museum. She is a recipient of the 2020 Los Angeles Artadia Award, the Visions from the New California initiative, The John Gutmann Fellowship Award, and The Baum Award for an Emerging American Photographer.
