Rebekah Wilkins-Pepiton is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work explores the current, collective, and ongoing relationship with the natural world. More specifically, she considers how landscape and a changing climate affects the human condition. Her practice involves the illumination of naturally existing phenomena such as dissolving coastlines, poppies in a minefield, or an ant trapped in water mold, considering them to be visual metaphors for humanity’s relationship to landscape. She combines a variety of image making methods from painting with foraged materials, printmaking, photography and video. She often works in collaboration with writers and other artists to flesh out the fullest potential of these discoveries and to create unified works where text and image exist in dialogue. Her latest work incorporates pigments and inks derived from found objects and plants in order to create a visual dialogue between material and form. This work blurs the line between objectivity and abstraction allowing the observed landforms to resonate poetically. She also works in close collaboration with Charles M Pepiton, to create films and immersive installations. She is a secondary art educator in Spokane Valley and lives in Spokane, WA.
