Rachel Burgess earned an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in NY. "I make monotype landscapes that explore the relationship between memory, truth and storytelling" she stated. "My landscapes are inspired by real places that I edit and abstract to mimic the effects of memory. ... I 'paint' on a sheet of plexiglass, starting at the top and working my way down. I continue to distill the composition until it stops representing a specific place and becomes something abstract, archetypal. ... then I print the piece in one go and wipe the plexiglass clean, as though the painting never existed. I am left with a new work on paper that, like a memory, replaces everything that led to its creation. " Purchased for buildings 8 and 9 by art consultant Pam Frederick.
