Drawing from popular culture and everyday life, Rachel Harrison has built a body of work that playfully questions traditional distinctions between kitsch and fine art, as well as between sculpture and photography. In her contemporary still-life compositions, Harrison juxtaposes foods typically offered for sale by street vendors and in cheap restaurants. By employing unusual angles and extreme close-ups that make the familiar look strange, Harrison subverts any effort to create an appealing or idealized aura around these products for mass consumption. Instead she renders them wholly unappetizing as food, but entirely intriguing as constructed arrangements of color, shape, volume, and texture.
