Guilt

Dried

Bite

Struggling with chronic pain and illness for most of her life has educated and inspired Rachel Kilback to transfer that energy straight into her art.

Rachel says of her work,

I long for freedom. Because of this I create art that has been called “reckless” and “intense”. Look for pain and struggle in my work. Nature features prominently in what I do. Material found in nature becomes integral to explorations of relationships between humans and other animals, as well as the female body and culture.

The works featured above are incredibly detailed representations of vaginas. Notice the sharp “teeth” on the last one, titled “Bite.”
