Rachel MacFarlane (b. 1986) bases her paintings on personal memories and particular places, beginning by constructing small, shallow paper models of these sites. The paper constructions serve as the foundation of her paintings, reconstructing places spatially, and fabricating new imaginative spaces guided by her memory. Exploring nature as a work of fiction, MacFarlane raises questions of ownership and territoriality. While landscape serves as a means for her to better understand the world, she also delves into the psychological dimensions of illusionistic depictions of place.
