She started her professional life as a writer and poet, for which she won a residential fellowship at the Arvon Foundation. She produced her first collection of poetry in 1985 after her poem <em>As A Blackwoman <\/em>won the Vera Bell prize in the Black Young Writers Award.<\/p>\n<p>In the same year she started producing artwork when she was asked to contribute to The Thin Black Line exhibition, which showcased the work of black women artists. For the exhibition she created three collages that used mixed media, including parts of her own poem that dealt with violence and racism, scraps of images, newspaper cuttings and other material. The series aimed to address the racism of Britain in\u00a0the 1970s and \u201980s.<\/p>\n<p>Sulter initially focused her artwork on photomontage and collage, but later moved into the practice of fine-art photography, preferring to work on a large scale and creating a series of images on a topic.<\/p>\n<p>Her work often challenged ideas about race, sexuality and identity, and is considered to have re-invented the visual imagery of black women.<\/p>\n<h2>Focus of Sulter&#8217;s work<\/h2>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_74702&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2008px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74702\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Terpischore-from-the-series-Zabat-1989-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-Edinburgh-City-Art-Centre-1.jpg\" alt=\"Terpischore, from the series Zabat, 1989 \u00a9 Maud Sulter, courtesy Edinburgh City Art Centre\" width=\"1988\" height=\"2426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Terpischore-from-the-series-Zabat-1989-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-Edinburgh-City-Art-Centre-1.jpg 1988w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Terpischore-from-the-series-Zabat-1989-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-Edinburgh-City-Art-Centre-1.jpg?resize=300,366 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Terpischore-from-the-series-Zabat-1989-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-Edinburgh-City-Art-Centre-1.jpg?resize=328,400 328w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Terpischore-from-the-series-Zabat-1989-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-Edinburgh-City-Art-Centre-1.jpg?resize=1259,1536 1259w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Terpischore-from-the-series-Zabat-1989-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-Edinburgh-City-Art-Centre-1.jpg?resize=1678,2048 1678w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Terpischore-from-the-series-Zabat-1989-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-Edinburgh-City-Art-Centre-1.jpg?resize=1240,1513 1240w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Terpischore-from-the-series-Zabat-1989-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-Edinburgh-City-Art-Centre-1.jpg?resize=900,1098 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Terpischore-from-the-series-Zabat-1989-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-Edinburgh-City-Art-Centre-1.jpg?resize=562,686 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1988px) 100vw, 1988px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Terpischore, from the series Zabat, 1989 \u00a9 Maud Sulter, courtesy Edinburgh City Art Centre<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Sulter was interested in the intertwined histories of Africa and Europe, and the idea around disappearance and lost histories, and much of her work reflects these topics.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u2018The whole notion of the disappeared, I think, is something that runs through my work. I\u2019m interested in absence and presence in the way that particularly black women\u2019s experience and black women\u2019s contribution to culture is so often erased and marginalised.

Sulter\u2019s powerful image of Terpsichore, the Muse of dance and lyric poetry, overturns the conventions of 18th century portraiture, presenting a black woman wearing the elaborate white wig associated with the slave-owning class.<\/p>\n<p>Her series Hysteria (1991) was partly inspired by 19th century African American sculptor Edmonia Lewis, and tells the story of a black woman artist who came to Europe seeking fame and fortune, but disappeared without trace.<\/p>\n<p>In Les Bijoux (2002), Sulter plays a character inspired by 19th century Frenchwoman Jeanne Duval, the so-called \u2018Black Venus\u2019 who inspired Baudelaire\u2019s poetry. In this series of bold self-portraits, the viewer is confronted by multiple images of Sulter dressed in elegant gowns, with jewels gleaming at her throat.<\/p>\n<p>Sulter\u2019s photomontage Twa Blak Wimmin (1997) was inspired by historical accounts of \u2018Blak Margaret\u2019 and \u2018Blak Elene\u2019, who were feted at the court of King James IV of Scotland in the early 16th century.<\/p>\n<p>Syrcas (1993), a major work that was chosen to represent Britain at the first Johannesburg Biennale, combines vintage postcards of Alpine landscapes, illustrations from publications on African art, and images of European art and photography. Ostensibly pages from a scrapbook made by \u2018Helga\u2019, a fictitious girl of Cameroonian descent whose parents are killed in the Third Reich, Syrcas links the horrors of African slavery with the European persecution of minorities in the 1930s and 1940s.<\/p>\n<h2>Other creative work<\/h2>\n<p>Sulter was prolific in many other creative areas apart from photography. She was also an award-winning poet, cultural historian and publisher of her own imprint, Urban Fox Press. She also curated 20 exhibitions and founded a gallery.<\/p>\n<h2>Exhibition<\/h2>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_74700&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1796px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74700\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Hysteria-1991-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-the-Estate-of-Maud-Sulter-1.jpg\" alt=\"Hysteria, 1991 \u00a9 Maud Sulter, courtesy the Estate of Maud Sulter\" width=\"1776\" height=\"2248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Hysteria-1991-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-the-Estate-of-Maud-Sulter-1.jpg 1776w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Hysteria-1991-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-the-Estate-of-Maud-Sulter-1.jpg?resize=300,380 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Hysteria-1991-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-the-Estate-of-Maud-Sulter-1.jpg?resize=316,400 316w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Hysteria-1991-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-the-Estate-of-Maud-Sulter-1.jpg?resize=1213,1536 1213w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Hysteria-1991-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-the-Estate-of-Maud-Sulter-1.jpg?resize=1618,2048 1618w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Hysteria-1991-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-the-Estate-of-Maud-Sulter-1.jpg?resize=1240,1570 1240w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Hysteria-1991-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-the-Estate-of-Maud-Sulter-1.jpg?resize=900,1139 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Hysteria-1991-\u00a9-Maud-Sulter-courtesy-the-Estate-of-Maud-Sulter-1.jpg?resize=562,711 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1776px) 100vw, 1776px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Hysteria, 1991 \u00a9 Maud Sulter, courtesy the Estate of Maud Sulter<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>The exhibition Passion, running until 4 June, and the accompanying book, present a major retrospective of Sulter\u2019s work.
