Artist Statement
Rachelle Agundes’ creative practice has manifested from an exploration of the process of memory and how it becomes distorted through the steady passage of time. The paintings and mixed-media works depict compilations or collaged images from her environment, memories, family history, photographs and dreams—which are filtered through studio processes.
She uses materials and process-driven motifs to manipulate imagery into further realizations. The resulting distortions are a juxtaposing, overlapping, or stacking of space and time. This collaging of space and ideas allows time to fluctuate from past, present and future—much like one’s relationship to time in dreams.
