<span data-contrast="auto">Rachel Rose creates video works that inventively combine collage, found footage, and repurposed materials. With <span data-contrast="auto">Lake Valley, <span data-contrast="auto">the artist uses imagery assembled from nineteenth and twentieth century children’s books to create cel animation. The sound editing of <span data-contrast="auto">Lake Valley <span data-contrast="auto">is similarly unexpected, as actions are accompanied by recognizable but strange sounds. The resulting film presents a sumptuous and transfixing storybook world that explores universal human fears and desires. <span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> 

<span data-contrast="auto">Abandoned on a lonely day, an imagined, rabbit-like pet leaves its family’s suburban home to look for friendship in an ethereal landscape. By balancing notions of tedium, adventure, abandonment, and companionship, <span data-contrast="auto">Lake Valley <span data-contrast="auto">immerses the viewer in a colorful world that tempers fantastic visuals with familiar and sometimes challenging emotions.<span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}">
