2026 Struts Members Production Fund Winner
Rachel Thornton
Working in studio July 10-23
We are excited to host our 2026 Members Production Fund recipient Rachel Thornton here at Struts. Rachel will be working in the gallery on their newest project, theriomancy.
“Intertwining mythology, ecological studies, and digital experimentation, theriomancy envisions metamorphosis as a metaphor for humanity’s urgent need to adapt amidst climate collapse. This body of work extends my earlier explorations into the combination of analog collage, video, and augmented reality around themes of cosmology, deconstructing hierarchies of information, and the fragility of our environment.”
