Artist Talk "The Tailored Body" by SFAI MFA Student Rachel Mica Weiss
Loading...
Uploaded by somarts on Sep 7, 2011
Artist Rachel Weiss investigates the methods of West African cloth production and the nature of wrapping and adorning the armature of the human body. Intimate relationships with artist and artisan communities in Senegal have informed her exploration of the function of cloth as a shroud, as a proud exterior, and as an important indication of the human gesture.
Rachel Weiss is part of Frontrunners: The San Francisco Murphy & Cadogan Awards Exhibition at SOMArts Cultural Center. Her work is on display through September 16th, 2011. Join us for the closing reception to see Rachel and 22 other Frontrunners receive Fellowship awards administered by The San Francisco Foundation. More info about the closing:
