Rachel Perry Welty graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston in 1999 with a fifth year certificate in 2001. She had a solo exhibition of her work at The Barbara Krakow Gallery in Boston, 2004 and at the “CC”Coburn Gallery in Colorado in 2007. She was selected for the “Levity: Selections Spring 2007” exhibition at The Drawing Center in New York. Most of us don’t pay much attention to the mundane objects we use everyday, like the twist ties that hold the plastic wrap on our bread and the broccoli together or the little paper cups that we pull out of a water dispenser. Using thousands of the throw away items at her disposal, Rachel Perry Welty takes these ordinary items and creates works of art with texture, complexity and meaning. There is a ritual about compiling these unconventional art materials into sculptures that seems both overwhelming and obsessive.
