Rachel Perry Sews the Passage of Time Skip to content Rachel Perry, “FlowFlex Covid Test: Big Swiss” (2023), wool and silk on canvas with artist frame, 10 x 19 3/4 inches (all photos Julie Smith Schneider/ Hyperallergic ) Baby beets, lipstick, baking cups, cream cheese, and a COVID-19 antigen home test. If this sounds like a pandemic-era shopping list — with its blend of nourishment and health monitoring, plus a dash of makeup for a Zoom meeting — that’s not far off. The packaging for each of these items served as a creative jumping-off point for Boston-based interdisciplinary artist Rachel Perry.
