As an artist, Sunny’s work asks how history is shaped—who tells it, what gets remembered, and what gets left out. Working across sculpture, installation, craft, and social practice, they transform everyday objects into tools for storytelling, inviting audiences to reconsider the narratives that define our shared past and present.

For more than twenty years, Sunny has developed a practice grounded in research, material exploration, and participation. By revisiting archives and reinterpreting craft traditions, they create space for histories that are more expansive and inclusive. Their work has been exhibited internationally, including at MoMA PS1, SFMOMA, MASS MoCA, and Palais de Tokyo, and is held in major museum collections such as the Whitney Museum, LACMA, and the Hammer Museum.

That same commitment extends into Sunny’s leadership at Creative Growth. With over 25 years of experience in arts education and institutions, Sunny brings a powerhouse of experience to their role as Executive Director. Under their direction, Creative Growth continues to expand what access, visibility, and artistic careers can look like.

Now in its second year, the Curious 100 highlights one hundred leaders across the United States who are using curiosity as a catalyst for cultural change. Presented by the Eames Institute, the initiative draws inspiration from Ray and Charles Eames’ belief in interdisciplinary thinking and the power of creative problem-solving.

“The Curious 100 matters because, in a time of darkness, it’s essential to amplify the people creating light. These are the thinkers, makers, and problem-solvers who are shaping more hopeful futures and building spaces for positive impact. By using this platform to highlight their work, we not only celebrate their contributions but also connect curious minds to curious problem-solvers,” - Mitzi Okou, co-founder of Where Are the Black Designers?

Established in 2019 and launched publicly in 2022, the Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity dedicated to advancing the dynamic legacy of 20th-century designers Ray and Charles Eames. By sharing the things the Eameses made and loved, along with their joyful and rigorous approach to life and work, we seek to inspire creative problem solving that positively shapes our world. With its vast collections including beloved legacy businesses of San Francisco–based William Stout Architectural Books and Zurich-based Lars Müller Publishers as well as its Ranch Studios Artist Residency and other public programming, the Institute aims to demonstrate the power of design and
invite people to explore their curiosity and implement creative solutions to the challenges of today.
