Rachel Perry Welty
Featured Artist

Artist's Statement
Working across media – sculpture, video, performance, drawing, and installation I mix minimal aesthetics with Pop humor and homespun craft to create works that point to the mundane and poetic aspects of our everyday lives. My obsession with mapping the remnants of my daily rituals extends to fruit stickers and bread tags, twist ties and take-out containers, wrong number messages and computer spam.
