Join me for an artist talk and conversation with Jon Feinstein (Humble Arts Foundation) in tandem with my new exhibition, Revocable Living, on view now at Spectrum Fine Art (2/27 - 4/12). The talk takes place at Photographic Center NW (Seattle, WA) and is free with RSVP.
In 2022, as the world began opening up from Covid, Rachel Demy felt like her world was closing in. Having recently completed her thesis at PCNW, she felt lost, isolated, and weighted by the anxiety of where to go next. She also became unknowingly addicted to ADHD medication, which unraveled friendships and her marriage. Rachel began photographing the world around her, often at night, through meandering walks, and soon checked into rehab where she realized that her photographs were a document of her addiction. Shortly after, she made an accompanying series, mostly during the day, to process the heartbreak of everything that had happened. In tandem with her upcoming exhibition at Spectrum Fine Art from February 27- April 12, 2025, Rachel and one of her early PCNW teachers Jon Feinstein will discuss her journey and how photography can help heal and process trauma.
