Rachel McRae

Rachel McRae is a Canadian artist based in the UK whose practice sits at the intersection of visual art (sculpture and digital media), writing, research-as-practice (folklore, queer studies, occult studies, and archaeology), and expanded cinema performance.

Her work explores the obsessive and deeply subjective – sometimes violent – ways in which data is organised, taxonomised, and excavated from its surrounding matrix; how histories re-emerge and persist without being widely recognised, demarcated, or named; and how material and experience are intentionally structured into politicised narratives.

Rachel has exhibited internationally and has received funding from public agencies and private foundations across Canada, the United States, the UK, and the EU.

As a tutor, she is committed to cultivating inclusive learning environments, with a particular focus on neurodiverse pedagogy.
