Artist statement
Madison artist Rachel Davis creates paintings, drawings and sculpture. Her recent work is an aesthetic response to observations of children and how they explore the world. Davis seeks to mimic children's responses to their environment, especially the world of nature. She has a special fondness for the awkward, organic and lumpy-shaped--the wild, colorful little surprises hidden in the outdoors. The objects in her 2001 exhibition at the Wisconsin Academy Gallery were presented as formal specimens, toys, dioramas and landscapes.
Biography
