Rachel Williams (NADA)

Rachel Williams’ experimental, fearless, political, diverse, poetic and passionate work spontaneously reacts and responds to immediate situations, having a direct and indirect perspective reacting to realizations of public situations. 

Concerned about the present and future of social and political aspects, touching on the subjects of homelessness, the decline on living standards and the treatment of the vulnerable in today’s society and how people are conformed, controlled, micromanaged and freedom is non-existent in the political ruling of politicians who appear clueless in the real world to the damages they are instigating, consuming people as pawns for their own supremacy, gluttony and status in the political world.

With the rise of Theresa May and Donald Trump, 2016 became the British and American political revolution where Democracy took the stance of politicians blaming the stupidity of the voters, creating scaremongering news and “fake news”, social media becoming more and more political and the bleak struggle to the future the Government are portraying.

Creating a visual language and giving social and political issues a voice, inspired by the nonsensical art movement of Dada researching the Disobedient objects and the Occupy movement.

Exploring and experimenting with combined media by means of poster art, hardboard painting, poetry, clay sculptures, text, digital media and cardboard.
