ABOUT THE ARTIST
Rachel Burke is a Brisbane-based multidisciplinary artist working across wearable art, craft-based installation, and performance. Her practice centres on sentiment, memory, and emotional storytelling through varied hand-made objects and often wearable artworks. This year, Rachel is the inaugural artist in residence at the Brisbane Powerhouse (2026).
Drawing on a lifelong love of collecting, making, and transforming found materials, Rachel creates wearable works that blur the line between art, fashion, and craft. Her projects often explore nostalgia, loss, obsession, and memory, through the use of labour-intensive, often craft-based techniques.
Rachel’s work spans exhibitions, custom commissions, stage productions, publications, and workshops. She is known for her distinctive visual language and for championing slow, expressive making as a form of connection and storytelling.
