Annika Tucksmith
In Rabbitrun, a swarm of rabbits trails a pied-piper-like girl across a field, a lone path disappearing into the distance. Neither wholly innocent nor wholly threatening, the scene hovers somewhere between childhood wonder and something more uncanny.
"I love looking at the Hudson River School paintings, it’s impossible to not get entranced by that light," Tucksmith explains. "Maybe because the region feels so intertwined with feelings of my own identity, reverence is a little too tidy of a bow on the land."

Second Cutting
The second cutting yields the finer growth a field gives up once it's been worked, then seen again. In Second Cutting Rachael Catharine Anderson, Ryan Steadman, and Annika Tucksmith work rural ground the same way, revisiting the familiar to unearth the unseen.
