Rachel Stallings Thomander is a Colombian American multidisciplinary artist. She lives and works in Santa Cruz with her husband and two sons. Thomander’s work activates an exchange between childhood and adulthood in objects that staddle decorative and utilitarian, opening the door to a fantastical realm of creative exploration. “One of the purposes of these [works] is to call attention to the utilitarian objects in the home. Where do my spoons come from? Who made my clock? What country was my jacket made in? Which traditions or histories are these objects tied to? I make functional and nonfunctional works that are in conversation with each other. They are partly in charge of their own creation, forming a world of their own.” Thomander has exhibited work at Tropical Contemporary, CTRL+SHFT, Nous Tous Gallery, Guerrero Gallery, Richmond Art Center, and Berkeley Art Museum.
