Rachel Loischild is a Boston-based artist who makes work about places and lives shaped by histories of control, exclusion, and erasure. Trained in studio art and the social sciences, she follows these histories through research into landscapes, toward what has been obscured, taken, or left behind. Loischild is a Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellow and has received grants from the Boston Opportunity Fund, American Aftermaths, the Puffin Foundation, and Berkshire Taconic Artist’s Resource Trust. Her work has been exhibited widely and is held in numerous public and private collections, including museum and institutional holdings that span regional and national programs.
