Artist Statement:
Freelance photographer,
Raechel Marie Running, creates
images that are more than just
photographs. Her work is
rooted in the tradition of
documentary and portrait
photography and serves as a
foundation for her collage and
multimedia pieces that are as
diverse as her subjects and
interests. She photographs
friends and the people she
meets along the way, who pose
simply as themselves and
sometimes are transformed
through the creative nature of
the imagination into
archtypical images that
explore the pathos and skewed
beauty of the universal drama
and diversity of the human
soul.
Raechel continually draws
inspiration from the visual
influences of Impressionistic
painters , Chicano art and
other photographers and
writers whose work has
inspired her to walk the road
less traveled. With her camera
often serving as a passport,
she explores the multifaceted
world, recording her own
experiences and impressions
with pictures and scraps of
memorabilia to make an
eclectic record to serve as
reference for her art. She
combines hand painting and
Polaroid transfers with a
variety of mixed media to make
elaborately embellished
collages full of the vibrant
colors of her multicultural
heritage that pay homage to
Beauty.
