Rachel Perry’s varied practice includes installation, sculpture, performance, photography, painting, and drawing. In response to trends she observes within contemporary culture, Perry often reconstitutes everyday materials in her work, such as supermarket labels, receipts, twist ties, and fruit stickers.
Her interest in how we consume, sort, process, and sift information, is apparent in the series Lost in my Life (2009-2012), which also speak to the ubiquity of consumer culture in today’s world. But I was shocked by what it showed about the passage of time.
Method :
Inspired by the receipts art.I'm thinking about how time can be presented to people in some other forms rather than linear. And what kind of feeling or response would we have after we see that? Therefore, I collect some of my sketches over a while and overlay all of them in one picture.
Response :
To me personally, the first impression it makes is not so much about the subject of time as it is about emotion. What is time, how we observe time and how we perceive time?
