Rahel Levine
Rahel Levine works in sculpture, text and image, their work builds intimate architectures from personal narratives. Working with text drawn from materials ranging from lists and notes to the diaristic, they use the banal alongside the dramatic to transform internal monologues into sculptures, performances, and installations, creating works that leak through and spill out of their containment.
Their works, constructed out of materials such as windows, glass, text, bags, and augmented images, reveal and complicate the interior spaces of life, and explore ideas of shame, exposure, containment, memory, the private and public, interior, and exterior.
Many of their sculptural works utilize casting and replication processes, mixing both contemporary and digital processes. They are interested in transforming the image, dimension, and materiality of objects as a way of translating ineffable experiences into a material vocabulary and thinking about the limitations of communication.
