Sculpture and three dimensional collage installations made in response to a given place
These paintings have their origins in the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, when sitting in my car became the only place to be alone. See the entire series on instagram @rachel.urkowitz
A while ago, before I had children, I dreamed about animals all the time. I started to draw key scenes from these dreams as a way to locate them outside of my body. During the pandemic, I reached out to my friends to see if they were having notable dreams. Anyone who sent me a description of their dream would get an illustration in the mail from me. This is an open ended project, and if you have a dream that you would like to see drawn, just email me the description and your mailing address. Your dream will arrive free of charge, in a few weeks.

I am interested in the way our relationships can be expressed through contrasts of form, color, image and space. Time, both as it relates to stillness, to movement, and to the indexical qualitie

I am interested in the way our relationships can be expressed through contrasts of form, color, image and space. Time, both as it relates to stillness, to movement, and to the indexical qualities of images, animates all of my projects.
