​Patterns and rhythms become a way for humanity to impose specific systems of order on a world that seems chaotic. Nature has its own patterns—found in ecosystems—that uphold a different set of order. Both technological and biological systems break down due to either entropy or error. Rachael Zur’s practice of expanded painting creates ecosystems that oscillate between pattern and randomness using grids, illegible signifiers of language, and mathematics—then disrupting these patterns with aggressive, drippy, and messy marks. Her paintings take on hybridity through installation and sculptural components.

She is currently working on her M.F.A. at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (expected date of graduation summer 2019), and received her B.A. from the College of Creative Studies at University of California Santa Barbara. She has exhibited her work in northern and southern California, Portland, and Chicago.
