New Orleans, LA
Contemporary artist Rachel Watson works in installation, alternative photography, printmaking, woodworking, jewelry, book arts, and textiles. Rachel, originally from Georgia, currently resides in New Orleans where she works as the Digitization Technician at the Newcomb Art Museum. Her work over the last few years has been centered on large-scale mental health facilities and memorializing the patients that were sent to live there. Her works in this exhibition focuses on the forgotten, the neglected, the abandoned and on the people who were uprooted from their homes and admitted into notorious state mental health facilities—places with horrifying reputations that undoubtedly sparked fears of becoming forgotten or abused.
