Suzi Bratt (she/they) is a queer, neurodiverse British artist working across painting, moving image, sculpture and installation. Their practice explores how systems of play, spectacle, and nostalgia shape identity and belief in contemporary Britain. 

Drawing on the aesthetics of arcades, seaside towns, and tourist attractions, Suzi examines how pleasure and control coexist - how we’re invited to participate in systems that also contain us. Using recycled materials, layered imagery and sound, she builds immersive worlds that sit between the real and the imagined, where memory, fantasy and social history blur together. 

Fascinated by world-building, myth and the digital, Suzi reinterprets symbols from folklore, gaming and popular culture to create new contemporary mythologies. Her practice reflects on the instability of perception and the search for meaning within mediated, hyper-spectacular environments. 

Through works like Coin Drop and Rigging, she transforms everyday amusements into spaces for reflection. Her work ultimately asks what it means to find authenticity, agency and connection in worlds designed to distract. 

Suzi is currently working on ARCADOMANCY, an interactive project exploring divination and prediction through arcade games.
