Jessie Wilber Gallery

Reception

Artist reception during the Winter Art Walk on Friday, December 12th from 5:00-8:00pm.

Artist Statement

By layering wildflowers, weeds, and invasive species over pictures of family vacations the artist ruminates on human movement and relationships through metaphors of the natural world. The way we attribute morality to the existence, growth, and movement of plants gives us insight on how we are striving to be present in the world.

Artist Bio

Rachel Ingle is a printmaker originally from the Midwest, now living in working in Bozeman, Montana. She got her BA in Art Education from Calvin College with a specialty in film photography and drawing, and her MFA from Montana State University with a specialty in printmaking.

Through printmaking, she explores a new expression of her original interests in photography and drawing. The print matrix proposes new directions for mark making, and the ink gives new textures and smells. The community of the press room and the skill sharing that happens there creates collaboration in every individual print. The print is a new thing birthed from the conglomerate of community, process, material and idea.
