Rachel Leigh Jennings comes from a rural landscape and her work is reflective of that upbringing. A sense of place acts as the central theme in her work, whether it is the subject matter, or reflected in the creation of a physical environment. Rachel’s fascination with objects and a corporeal presence is embodied through material choices, the manipulations of them, and the spaces they occupy.

She makes physical manifestations of her fleeting past. In the initial stages, she works intuitively and responds to impulses, often creating the actual work on-site, instead of in the studio.
