Here is some new work from Rachel Gourley.
What is intriguing in this series is Gourley’s juxtaposition of polymer components and nature. Her concept, which is realized through a photograph, explores the idea of what is real and what is not. Has nature morphed into something strange and new or are portions of the composition something else all together? Being removed from reality, via the window of the photographic picture plane, only serves to enhance the illusion.
I cannot remember a time in my life that I wasn't interested in looking at art, talking about art and the making of art. In 1990 I earned a Phd in art history at the University of Maryland. My first experiences with polymer clay were in 1992, but I consider my real work with the medium to date from 1999.
