Artist Statement
“The Barras community welcomed me with open arms and allowed me to tease out these queries; all the while, I tried to draw a lineage connection between my life and the lives of this community.
We shared stories, spoke in Scottish and Irish Gaelic, explored our heritage, and asked each other ‘would you like to get to know me?’
My grandmother was born in the Liberties, Dublin; a centuries-old neighbourhood, known for traditional pubs, famous markets and tourist attractions. As a child, I would go with her, speaking to the people there who taught me to barter, joke, and laugh at life.
I felt that same feeling when I came to Glasgow and the Barras Market. I felt welcome. Opposing religions, cultures, and football fans exist harmoniously throughout the market’s constellation.
I try to connect dots of familiarity like a thread weaving in and out of linen – back and forth from person to person, memory to memory, family to family.”
Rachael is an artist and curator from Dublin (b.1994). Her practice is socially engaged and community-focused, using lens-based media to facilitate collaboration with others. Her methodology is centred around reflexivity, specifically, how lived experiences can be analysed and used as a methodological approach toward collaboration. Her work explores the canonisation of collaborative initiatives in the UK and afar.
Rachael holds a BFA in Sculpture and Expanded Practice (NCAD, 2016) and an MLitt in Curatorial Practice of Contemporary Art (GsA & UofG, 2021).
