Embracing the unity and unchanging nature of humanity’s needs and desires, I use photography from the past and present as my starting point.  I create relational treasures in the form of images, objects, pieces of furniture, and film - treasures to provide memory, love and maybe even a nudge for people to collect their own memories and find ways to cherish them.

My intention is to engage my audience, making connections; to provide an experience for the viewer to engage with and be curious about, finding their own signifiers within the work, unearthing their own context.  I’m throwing out the breadcrumbs; it’s up to the viewer to decide where they lead.

People can own these treasures.  You can also view the collection in its curated setting (by appointment), to enjoy the full experience and maybe share your thoughts as memories and ideas flood in.

Rachel will be taking the curated selection on tour soon to art galleries and centres around the UK - if you would like to be kept informed of tour dates and venues please send an email: rachelbaylisuk@gmail.com.
