grit and gristle by Rachel Linneman
February 2鈥揗arch 6聽
Art Walk & Reception: Thursday, February 12, 4:30-6:30 p.m.
Reflecting on her Appalachian upbringing, Rachel Linnemann uses found objects to highlight blue collar and emotional labor and familial struggles. She transforms these items with costume jewelry, gold, pearls and opulence to raise everyday objects to a new level. This gives you the opportunity to find visual joy in topics of generational trauma that are difficult to talk about. You鈥檒l see food as a symbol of community, poverty, family legacy and comfort and be invited to embrace both joy and hardship.
