Rachel Williams’s printmaking work has history and its re-telling at its core. Rooted in and referencing the past but regurgitating constantly into the present, she takes inspiration from prehistoric cave paintings and ancient artefacts held ‘out of context’ in museums.
From drawings and collaged studies, she creates works using a myriad of techniques, including, but not limited to, printmaking, stitching, painting, and collage. Almost all of her works have some form of ‘transference’ or printed technique.
The recent inclusion of embroidery and stitchery in her practice is a link back to the ancient past, the era of the embroidered sampler, and the extraordinary talent of unsung women.
Rachel is based in St Leonards on Sea. Visit the gallery to see more of Rachel’s work on display or request a digital catalogue at: [email protected]
