Born in 1975, Rachel Duckhouse grew up in Nuneaton before studying at Leeds College of Art and Winchester School of Art, moving to Glasgow in 1998, where she now lives and works.
Her drawing practice explores structures, patterns and flows within landscapes and the dynamic relationships between things (particularly architecture, water, light and memory). Her research often combines observation, conversation, walking, archive research and sketchbook drawing, to explore the connection between inner and outer worlds through imagined geometries, patterns and places.
She’s undertaken research based residencies in Canada, Australia and the Outer Hebrides, and has exhibited her work in Europe, North America, New Zealand and Singapore. She’s worked on several public art commissions, including the entrance gates to the newly redeveloped Edinburgh Printmakers. Her drawings, etchings and screenprints have been acquired by collections including The British Museum, Great Ormond Street Hospital in London and Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York.
