Series: Action, Unification
Humans are bound by time. We are not able to truly revisit and experience the past. Nor can an individual view the past and present simultaneously. If one could see the remnants of the past fade as the present took place, how would this be composed? In response, I have created this imaginary experience with bone joints that are juxtaposed in order to capture action and unification. Click an image for a larger view. You can read the
full series statement on my blog or

Rachel, when are you going to put the rest of your work up. Can’t wait to see it up. :-)

Love the work! the dimensions and shadowing are great because the bones seem to leap off the background.

Rachel-
You do beautiful work. I went to Rockford Christian and had your dad as a teacher.
I was also an art student at Anderson University. I am very impressed with what you do- the human form is not easy. Wishing you much success!

Rachel,
The website is well-done, and your work expresses depth and thought. The muted-warm hues and piece titles fascinate me. We should be in contact! Sorry not to have been able to talk more with you last week…
