STATEMENT:

Rebecca Levi’s work captures and redefines ideas of American domesticity and desire, subverting the norm with the unexpected as it invites a collision between traditional handicrafts and unexpected sources like vintage physique magazines, pin-ups, comic books, Tumblr, and internet memes such as flower beards and selfies. A native New Yorker, resident of Brooklyn, and frequent visitor of beloved Provincetown, much of her inspiration is from source material culled from flea markets, vintage stores, the infinite scroll of the internet, and her own photography.
