Rachel Adams is an artist who has long been interested in the ‘right to roam’ across art, craft & design. Her work constantly explores & questions form & function; the hierarchies of production, the domestic interior & the public realm.

Last year Rachel who is based in Glasgow launched Upflanze, a new lighting project. Inspired by Bordallo Pinheiro, a 19th century Portuguese ceramics company & Tiffany coloured-glass lamps, Rachel was keen to explore ways to merge the decorative, the sculptural & the functional. The resulting range of pendant lights, take their primary influence from the redoutable, nonsense vegetable, the cabbage. Brilliant & fascinating!

Rachel will discuss the origins of Upflanze & her wider working life - she studied Fine Art at Edinburgh College of Art and completed a MFA at Ruskin School of Art, Oxford - with Susanna Beaumont, director of Design Exhibition Scotland. In 2018 Susanna commissioned Rachel to create a site-specific work for DES's first exhibition at Lyon & Turnbull in Edinburgh. The resulting piece, Elevation was a vast hand tie-dyed linen wall hanging that was inspired by stained-glass windows.

Join us on the 28th for a evening of conversation & chat -- we welcome questions & open discussion.
