Rachel Perry Welty "Lost in My Life"

Rachel Perry Welty
Welty, a Museum school grad and resident of the Boston area, spoke at the Portsmouth Museum of Art (I walked from my studio!). She was wonderfully articulate and open about her meticulous process. Though it may appear she is an artist who uses photography, her work includes performance and video and drawing. Her work is painstakingly laborious, reordering and re-purposing what is often overlooked as she creates a homage to the daily process of consumption that occupies our lives. (Serg, must check out her Facebook video)

Artist Residency 2019

Dress Codes: In full swing with the generous gift of an artist residency from Turkey Land Cove Foundation to support the October collaborative exhibition at University of New England in Biddeford, Maine.  I am so very thankful for this amazing opportunity to have the time to work on this project.  April started with a visit to UNE then off to a two week residency at Turkey Land Cove Foundation (photo above) where I was able to have focused time to bring my project together and further develop my ideas. My biggest and most heartfelt thanks to the foundation for this opportunity and another big thank you to all that are helping this project to develop and grow. Here is a sample of some of the video interviews I have started to collect meet Elais, Grace and Samantha. Please comment in the blog thread. Just before finals, I will visit UNE as a guest of the Women's and Gender Studies Club setting up a table at their lunch event.
