The Risk of Us
A poignant, dazzling debut novel about a woman who longs to be a mother and the captivating yet troubled child she and her husband take in. What is the cost of motherhood? When The Risk of Us opens, we meet a forty-something woman who deeply wants to become a mother. The path that opens up to her and her husband takes them through the foster care system, with the goal of adoption. And when seven-year-old Maresa--with inch-deep dimples and a voice that can beam to the moon--comes into their lives, their hearts fill with love. But her rages and troubles threaten to crack open their marriage. Over the course of a year, as Maresa approaches the age at which children become nearly impossible to place, the couple must decide if they can be the parents this child needs, and finalize the adoption--or, almost unthinkably, give her up. For fans of Jenny Offill and Rachel Cusk, The Risk of Us deftly explores the inevitable tests children bring to a marriage, the uncertainties of family life, and the ways true empathy obliterates our defenses.
Fiction/Fear/Fact
Published to accompany Rachel Howard’s solo exhibition of new work at Bohen Foundation, New York in June 2007, this book profiles Howard’s paintings and ink drawings on paper. Accompanying this is an insightful interview between Howard and New York-based critic Adam E. Mendelsohn, which explores the new figurative direction Howard’s work is taking, and a hauntingly beautiful poem by critic and poet Sue Hubbard. Howard’s new works incorporate dark shapes of hanging female figures that appear to have been poured onto the canvas, all previous brushstrokes dissolved into a perfectly smooth expanse of paint. Embedded in the saturated colours and glossy surfaces that characterize Rachel Howard’s work, the dire figures set up an uneasy tension between the subject matter and the vibrant physicality of colour, surface and layered depth. The accompanying ink drawings, which are dominated by female suicide, also explore what the artist describes as 'the beauty of tragedy’. As Howard puts it, "suicide seems to be one of the last taboos... shame and guilt and sin; all the things I love and hate.”
The Lost Night
A deeply moving story of one woman’s search for truth and meaning in the aftermath of her father's unsolved murder.On the night of June 22, 1986, ten-year-old Rachel Howard woke to a disturbing sight: pools of blood on the hallway carpet and a glimpse of her father clutching his stabbed throat. Stan Howard died minutes later, and his bizarre small-town murder was never solved. Rachel’s father was thirty-two, a laid-back, handsome man who loved the music of Rod Stewart and had no known enemies. Faced with her family’s shock, Rachel decided she would cope the only way she knew how: By keeping silent and trying to pretend the murder had never happened.Now, seventeen years later and recent...
Repetition Is Truth
This catalog for British painter Rachel Howard's (born 1969) exhibition at Newport Street Gallery features 14 paintings drawing on the Stations of the Cross, with a study of media images of the torture of Iraqi detainee Ali Shallal al-Qaisi by US soldiers in 2003.
How to Disappear Completely
British artist Rachel Howard's first exhibition with Haunch of Venison (11 January - 23 February 2008) explores the notion of a beauty that is born out of everyday tragedy. In a series of figurative and abstract paintings, and accompanying ink-on-paper studies, Howard conducts an ongoing investigation into the meaning of death, as experienced both through personal experience and through mediated representation. The departure point for these works is the disturbing images of suicide that Howard finds by trawling newspapers and the internet, a process she calls 'prodding the inevitable'. In the resulting paintings, the artist depicts a naked human form in a variety of different postures; in many cases the figures are suspended as though pulled by the same gravitational force that has determined the overall appearance of the painting.
Repetition is Truth Via Dolorosa
This book catalogues a series of 14 paintings by the British artist Rachel Howard, which Damien Hirst commissioned for his Murderme art collection. The series is based on the Stations of the Cross, but is also a broader commentary on the universality of human rights abuses and people's capacity for cruelty towards each other. Including shots from the artist's studio, the book also gives an insight into Rachel Howard's practice.
