RACHEL BOILLOT: YEAR OF THE FALLEN OAK

Gallery 121 (Belmont University) / 1919 Belmont Blvd. November 2 - December 4th (Reception: November 5 4:30pm - 6:00pm)

Rachel Boillot

The photographs in Year of the Fallen Oak were made in the Cumberland Plateau during a time of grief and transition: the unexpected death of my father-in-law Doug, the birth of Derrick’s first grandchildren, and our move to Arkansas. The making of this work has been a process of saying goodbye to what was, a series of unresolved gestures echoing through time. Loss and vulnerability are topics we explore together as I ask my family members to photograph with me in a spirit of reciprocity and exchange, collaborating in a shared exploration of place and memory.
