Rhea Mack

These colorful pencil-drawn worlds are inhabited by a peculiar cast of spirit guides, skeletons, oddballs, rolling heads, wizards, performers and anthropomorphic moons and shooting stars. In short, they’re the weirdos she wishes she knew. “I feel like they just kind of grow as I’m drawing,” she says. “I start to feel like I can see this person and understand them, and I have so much affection for them once they’ve been drawn.” She loves drawing twins or couples; two people who share an unknowable bond or untranslatable language between them. In pairs or groups, Mack’s misfits are often gathered and posing as if for a photo—an arm awkwardly slung over another’s shoulders. She wonders if this might have snuck in from her early references, an album of inherited family photos.
