Rachel Crummey

Visiting Artist Residency

---

Crummey states the following about her practice:

I am a visual artist and writer.  I offer rhythmic resting places, for tired eyes and exhausted bodies.  My research interests include landscape, poetry, and abstraction.  I am curious about how the natural and built environment impacts us subliminally, particularly the nervous system.  The logic of machines is all around me in the city, but I am intrigued by root systems and the murmuration of starlings.  When I sit quietly, I sometimes sense an order that is intricate, connected, and spreading.

Rachel Crummey is a visual artist and writer based in Toronto.  She has been an artist in residence with Kulturkontakt Austria and the Salzburger Kunstverein, and has exhibited in Canada, London UK, Austria, and Italy.  Her poetry has been published in The Puritan and Maisonneuve.  She gratefully acknowledges the support of the Ontario Arts Council and the Toronto Arts Council.
