About the Artist:
Using drawing and monotype, Rachel Burgess creates iconic landscapes of Maine and Massachusetts that explore the connection between memory and storytelling.
"To create my pieces, I start by drawing from life, outdoors. I reduce my subjects to basic elements of form and color, and disregard extraneous details. Afterwards, in a print studio, I create monotypes based on my drawings. Monotype is a form of printmaking that yields just one image. I paint directly on a plexiglass plate and then use a printing press to create a one-off impression. As a result, I lose the painting that I spent hours working on, but I gain a new work on paper, mimicking the way we turn fleeting scenes into lasting memories. The final product is a mirror image of the original ? a metaphor for the fictionalization and abstraction that occurs in our minds."
