About the Item

"As I build installations utilizing porcelain objects, I continue to observe a trend in the way people move through these spaces. There is a slowing down, a quieting, a new sensitivity in their motion. Knowing that one is surrounded by fragile objects tends to bring a different type of caution, care, and consideration. I have witnessed individuals enter these spaces in a hurried and tense way, and exit them transformed, calm, quiet, and just a little bit softer and more open. I cannot promise this will be the case for all who enter, but I do know that the possibility exists and the invitation is open to all." - Rachel K. Garceau Rachel K. Garceau is a studio artist living and working in the Atlanta, GA area, and has been recognized as a 2015 Emerging Artist by the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts and one of 2017’s Women to Watch by the Georgia Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts. She utilizes slip-cast porcelain forms to construct site-responsive installations. Her work is often born from a curiosity about an object or a place and a desire to come to a deeper understanding of it. Rachel received a BA in Fine Arts from Franklin Pierce College in 2003 and went on to pursue her education through studio assistantships, workshops, and residencies. In 2013, Rachel completed the two-year Core Fellowship at Penland School of Crafts (NC). She has received residencies at Vendsyssel Kuntsmuseum (DK), Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts (TN), Haystack Mountain School of Crafts (ME), All Is Leaf (MA), and the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences (GA). Her work has been shown at GreenHill Center for NC Art (NC), Lillstreet Gallery (IL), and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (GA), and has been published in Studio Potter, Ceramics Monthly, and NCECA Journal, and also appears in CAST: Art and Objects Made Using Humanity’s Most Transformational Process. *From the artist's website
