Sleepwalking Toward Extinction
An Exhibit by Rachel Underwood
March 5 -26, 2021 | 1-5 PM, Monday through Friday
Hosted by FSU’s Department of Visual Arts | Free and open to the public
The existential and conceptual problems posed by the current geological age are those at the heart of humanistic inquiry: what does it mean to be human, to live during this time? Underwood’s large-scale paintings explore moments of animalistic urges, death, adaption and the consequences of human actions. She often uses a life-size scale so the viewer can directly relate to and be confronted by the painting. Humans tend to primarily see themselves as apart from nature, rather than a part of it. Underwood examines the similarities and differences between the human animal and nature and what those relationships mean for the future.
Underwood is a U.S. Navy veteran. Currently, she paints about the climate crisis and is illustrating a children’s book about friendly dinosaurs. She earned her BFA from Towson University and her MFA at the University of South Florida. Underwood also plans to work toward a degree in environmental science.
