Edition of 20
Framed/unframed
Rachel Duckhouse is a visual artist working primarily in etching and pen and ink drawing. Her work is often made in response to artist residencies, where she explores new landscapes or environments, sometimes working with specialists such as architects, water engineers or biologists. In these new situations, she seeks out patterns and forms that can be visually investigated and developed through conversation, walking, archive research and sketchbook drawing. Physically experiencing a landscape and has become an important part of her drawing practice - a landscape might be the isolated moorlands and machair of the Outer Hebrides or the nano surface of an oyster shell. The etchings presented here are both based on architectural forms near her studio in Glasgow. The Gorbals through Laurieston (G) was created during a collaboration with architects developing a new walkway through railway arches, connecting two communities. The St Enoch Centre is a shopping centre nearby that's about to get redeveloped. She’s undertaken artist residencies in The Outer Hebrides, Canada, Australia and Cornwall and has worked on public art commissions including the entrance gates of Edinburgh Printmakers. Her work has been acquired by The British Museum, Great Ormond Street Hospital in London and The Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York.
