Galilee Peaches is an interdisciplinary artist and poet who studies the dynamics of intimacy between individuals and within environments. In the making of images and objects, she reflects on the sensation of touch in daily life with methods that favor repetitive action over time. In her drawings and paintings, the picture plane is shallow and a crowded mass creates a wall where shapes move through each other. In sculpture she creates artifacts out of clay, plaster and paper. She photographs these pieces on film to generate fiction within her practice, creating a history for her sculptures while documenting scenes that may or may not have happened. Her work explores acts of retrieval, disruption and amendment, finding that we leave distinct traces of ourselves and of our actions on the objects around us. Her aim is to record this imprint in order to better understand our individual histories and collective existence.

She received her BFA in Studio Art from the University of Wisconsin-Stout and is based in Brooklyn, New York.
