Public Art
A freelance Associate for New Public, Rachel provides support for diverse public arts commissions.
As Project Manager for Artscape, she worked on ambitious artist residencies, temporary installations and permanent monumental sculptures in the public realm. She co-authored long-range strategies for cultural and place-making programmes.
Rachel played a key role in commissioning a series of landmark sculptures for Darwin Green in Cambridge. She was integral in proposing and securing Arts Council funding for the Tate Exchange Liverpool Residency, The Calling Sheds, tracing the lived experiences of four women shepherds in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, linking the cosmopolitan museum to rural farm contexts. She coordinated Reflections on Home, a soundscape of interactive outdoor sculptures, performances and a digital app for Alton Estate in Wandsworth, London.
Clients included Greater London Authority, HS2, Wandsworth Borough Council and Cambridge City Council.
