Out of the Woods: Work by Rachel Denny

Description

San Francisco design store and gallery, Rare Device, is proud to present Out of the Woods: Work by Rachel Denny. Denny’s work will occupy the Rare Device gallery May 1 - June 2, 2009. A reception for the artist will be held Friday, May 1 from 7 - 9 pm.

Out of the Woods, the latest body of work by Rachel Denny is an exploration of the seductive beauty of our natural world and the imprint that human intervention has made on its flora and fauna. Denny is attracted by the exuberance of nature in urban and unexpected places. “A deer in an urban backyard, a family of Peregrine falcons at my neighborhood park, a coyote skirting a parking lot,” she says, “These all become a moment of wonder as they shake us out of our daily routines and remind us of what could be. “ Denny is interested in the adaptation that we force animals to make and the fact that some animals not only survive, but thrive in urban environments. She has shown in countless prominent galleries nationwide for over 10 years.
