Guest Artist

Rachel Hefferan

Rachel is an artist who primarily weaves as a form of making. Her weavings are abstracted representations of microbial communities that take form as woven pattern, playful color, and many circular references. Rachel is also a hopeful environmentalist, interested in small scale agriculture and wool production. She makes artworks from her home-studio/pole barn, which shares a 16ft wall with a livestock stall. Rachel cares for Pygora goats, Jacob sheep, and Icelandic sheep. Shearing, washing, processing, and hand spinning their wool to use in weavings is part of her artistic practice – though the bulk of the materials used are second-hand cottons, wools, etc., that Rachel has accumulated from other artists over time.
