Suki Mehr transforms natural shells into steel monumental sculptures. Shells are deeply connected to Caribbean life and culture. In her works, she reduces the shell to its essential geometry, then scales it until that geometry becomes architecture.
Her work carries St Barth's own tradition of restraint: nothing added beyond what the form requires.
Suki Mehr studied visual art at Brown University and sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design. Her work has been featured in Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, Harper's Bazaar, and Vogue. Monumental works are installed at The St. Regis and Four Seasons in Puerto Rico, and in private collections across London, New York, and Los Angeles. Named one of Fast Company's Top 100 Most Creative People in Business.
