carlier | gebauer is pleased to present a solo exhibition with the Australian artist Jessica Rankin. Field of Mars will be the artist‘s third exhibition with the gallery. 

Jessica Rankin is best known for her expansive celestial maps and landscapes, which are interspersed with codes, signs, and symbols that refer to the processes of memory, intuition, and interpretation. Rankin often begins her creative process with the written word, combining stream of consciousness, found texts, stories, memories and fleeting thoughts. She then cuts apart individual words and phrases and recomposes them into new sequences using a method of ”guided chance.“ These clusters of texts are then integrated into Rankin‘s drawings and embroideries.
