Biography
Indigo and Juniper I, 2023
Rachel DuVall (b.Pennsylvania 1985) is a Los Angeles based textile artist making hand-woven
works. Her geometric compositions explore the grid structure inherent to weaving, the result of
the warp and weft fibers intersecting. By using repetition of line and shape, the work
investigates the relationship between the rigid framework required to produce a weaving and the
flexible imperfect nature of the resulting material. Within this repetition the subtlest differences
become amplified, such as the variation in tension of each hand woven line, or subtle color
shifts achieved with by hand dyed fibers.
DuVall received her BFA in Fiber from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2008. DuVall has
exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions, both nationally and internationally. DuVall has
participated in the following residencies, 2020 Josef and Anni Albers Residency Awardee –
Bethany, CT, 2016 The Vermont Studio Center, and 2015 Penland Winter Residency, Penland
School of Crafts, Penland, NC. She is the 2016 Windgate Fellowship recipient, Vermont Studio
Center.
