RACHEL GARRARD

Rachel Garrad (b. 1984) lives and works in New York and Mexico. She earned a BFA and MFA at Central Saint Martins, London.

Garrard’s multifaceted practice integrates painting, sculpture, sound, installation, and video, articulating a view of reality in which the border between the physical and ephemeral is porous and ever-shifting. Her paintings are composed of natural substances, such as quartz, ash, or rock powder pigment, that she has personally collected, hand-ground, and applied to raw linen canvas through a process of fine layering translucent washes of color. The applied pigment becomes a physical register of place, a palimpsest of past experiences, and a portal to the metaphysical landscape of memory.

Garrard’s work has been featured at the Academy Mansion, NYC (2023); Casa Wabi, Mexico (2022); Hammond Museum, NY (2019); Kraftwerk, Berlin (2017); Pioneer Works, NYC (2016); the National Academy Museum, NYC (2015), Métropole Musée d’Art Moderne, France (2015); Museo Universitario del Chopo, Mexico City (2014), among many others.
