ARTIST RACHAEL TARRAVECHIA
Rachael Tarravechia paints rooms that were just recently occupied. No people, no phones, no cameras — but the aura of humanity still lingers. For her exhibition If These Walls Could Talk she used photographs of her grandmother Jane's bathroom, an 80s time capsule, and added a big knife. The kind that would appear in an 80s slasher movie. A bathroom is a place where we are most vulnerable and exposed. It felt appropriate. She uses a lot of pink and glitter, and she no longer worries about that.
