Rachael Catharine Anderson
In Elderberry Geometry, Rachael Catharine Anderson paints the bare skeleton of an elderberry shrub. Stripped of its dark fruit that feeds the birds, Anderson has selected a moment in the plant's season that reveals the repeating geometry of its branching structure. Within a largely monochromatic palette, small flashes of contrasting color punctuate the composition.

Exhibited in
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, revisiting the familiar to unearth the unseen: plants become portraits, daily life an unfolding story, childhood landscapes psychologically charged.
