Hawthorn Contemporary is pleased to announce the opening of Rachel Collier’s solo exhibition Drawings for the New Psychic World.  

 

Rachel Collier's work is rendered in expansive color, transcribing ecstatic realms that populate our shared consciousness. Repeated abstract forms anchor familiar psychic landscapes to our physical world, stirring the spirit in preparation for advancement or departure. While referencing the languages of maps and topography, her compositions deconstruct from the grid to imagine transcendent space.
