Special Edition: Rachel Sumpter

Hi there, yes, it's me again, back with a bonus edition for all you faithful 20x200 collectors. I thought I'd drop in on list subscribers a little on the early side, seeing as how lots of you probably have one foot out the door and are heading towards a weekend of summer fun.
This week's Grand Finale is our second edition from the talented Rachell Sumpter. I am pretty smitten with its seasonal appropriateness, not to mention its adorable yet enigmatic little people. Plus it's a fitting finale indeed for the week behind us, which included Colin's more modest pyrotechnic display and Lamar's avian pyromaniac. We are on fire!
Rachell's art career: also white hot. She's currently got work on view just around the corner from JBHQ at Sunday, a gallery most friendly and most fine. Echo Eggebrecht also has work in the show, titled Tenderly. You need to act fast if you want to see it though, since today is the very last day of the exhibition.
Rachell's 20x200 intersections hardly stop at that — she's married to Jacob Magraw and both of them show at Richard Heller Gallery in LA, which hosted an exhibition of Lamar's new works just a few short months ago.
That's a whole lot of interconnectedness to contemplate, and I will leave you to do just that. Hopefully you're planning on unplugging soon though, just like we are. Team 20x200 is getting the weekend party started right with a field trip to Shake Shack.
I'll be back on Tuesday, rested and ready, with additional editions that are sure to delight. Until then, bon weekend to all of you!
