Still Together, Rachel Collier

Rachel Collier is an interdisciplinary artist whose recent studio practice focuses on releasing internal visual language held in the emotional body and expressing this as utopic imaginary landscapes.

Featuring a new site-specific fiber and painting installation inspired by the architecture of The Space, her solo exhibition at Saint Kate blooms with electric colors and offers audiences an opportunity to feel a collectively familiar sense of heightened mood.

She notes, “my paintings and textile works are ecstatic visual analogues of spaces that I believe populate our shared consciousness. The forms I repeat are familiar in a way that anchors my psyche to a sense of place. In creating space via non-representation, I hint at worlds that are unknowable and indefinite. In creating models of these worlds, I turn to the visual language of maps, topography, insets, picture-in-picture, scale and materiality, and radiant color to stir the spirit in preparation for advancement or departure."– Rachel Collier
