Rachel undertakes commissions from small works for individuals to large pieces for public spaces, most recently two artworks now in situ at the 02 London. If you would like to discuss a commission please get in touch.

Cygnus and cassiopeia

Commission for two artworks, inspired by the Constellations. The O2 Arena, Greenwich, London

Cassiopeia is the brightest of the constellations to appear in the night sky in early summer, located below the plough. Cassiopeia is the mother of Andromeda in Greek mythology.

Cygnus is one of the most recognisable constellations, taking its name from the Greek word for swan.

Woodland Sonata

Triptych commission for three exterior window spaces The Village Montessori, Kingswood Place, London SE13 5BU

My idea was to produce a work that both enhances the building, and also reflects the young users and their environment. I wanted there to be an element of familiarity from nature that the children have encountered locally, so I used the deer from Greenwich Park and the neighbouring silver birch as inspiration.  I decided to make reference to the importance of the children's interaction with nature, representative of the idea of growth and development.   The tree motif symbolises 'the support system' provided by the nursery and teachers. The birds represent the children’s time at the school, as symbolised by their eventual flight in the final panel.  

Thank you to Peter Davies who proposed the commission.
