Susan Elizabeth Tompkins[1] is an English visual and sound artist and was the vocalist for indie rock band Life Without Buildings.[2][3]
Tompkins was born in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire in 1971. She studied painting at the Glasgow School of Art, and graduated in 1994.[4] Since 1997 she has worked collaboratively with the collective Elizabeth Go (Victoria Morton, Sarah Tripp, Hayley Tompkins and Cathy Wilkes).[5] She has held multiple exhibitions at The Modern Institute.[2][6]
Tompkins also provided the vocals for art rock band Life Without Buildings, along with other students of the Glasgow School of Art. Spin magazine described Tompkins' vocals as "nervously chirped evocative phrases" and credited her as the band's central attraction. Following their debut album Any Other City in 2001, the band split up.[2][7] In 2026, she provided guest vocals on the Sleaford Mods album The Demise of Planet X.
