ORANG HUTAN
|
Orang Hutan also known as Rachel Maryam Smith is a visual artist studying the transience of meaning through ephemeral installation performance. In Fall 2020, Hutan completed the Art Studio MFA at the University of California, Davis. In Fall 2018, Hutan completed the BA in Art Studio as well as History of Art and Visual Culture (with honors) from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Early in their career as a bead artist Hutan taught internationally and wrote three books on the topic as Rachel Nelson-Smith. Later, as an academic artist Hutan created and executed the Theoretical Art Science Fellowship with astrophysicists Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz and Joel Primack at the UCSC Lick Observatory Instrument Lab. Hutan integrated ephemerality and fun into a series of 13 sunset events where up to 300 participants made massive soap bubbles. Hutan received numerous grants, awards, and recognitions for proposals, exhibitions, and volunteerism at both universities. Hutan’s work has been shown in San Francisco’s Root Division and de Young Museum, as well as Fiera Abilimente in Vicenza, Italy, Fashion Institute of Technology, John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Lux Center for the Arts, and Senator Scott Weiner’s office among others. Hutan’s bronze bust of American conservationist Rachel Carson is in the permanent collection of Rachel Carson College on the UCSC campus. She is currently apprentice to eco-artist Newton Harrison in Santa Cruz, California.
