A Dress for change, 2021

Corset of wood and wire

“A Dress for change” is a mixed media piece that draws upon the element of fashion to instigate a conversation surrounding the safety of women and our responsibilities as a community in modern-day society.  

Rachel is an interactive artist who aims to establish personal relationships between the viewer and the work. She uses her work to highlight the impact of global events, including climate change, the Covid-19 pandemic, women’s safety, mental health, and gender violence. With each piece, she hopes to create debate and foster change. Using the mediums of textiles and photography has allowed Rachel to extend the boundaries of what some may perceive as art, thereby stimulating debate about controversial issues.
