Artist Spotlight: Rachel MacFarlane

Paintings by artist Rachel MacFarlane from Ontario, Canada. Operating somewhere between reality and fiction — object and translation — MacFarlane’s work often begins by making small maquettes based on specific memories of landscapes, constructed out of sculpted and cut paper.

This series was submitted by MacFarlane and selected as an Editor Pick (click here to submit your own work). See more images from “Fool’s Paradise” below.
