Rachel Elise Thomas (b. 1988) – Detroit, MI, USA
I consider myself an artist working in the realm of lens-adjacent, interdisciplinary approaches. I am deeply committed to pushing the boundaries of photography in terms of its creation, presentation, and discourse. Through my studio practice, I employ various techniques such as collage, mixed media, print making, and site-specific installation to delve into the intricate nuances of my personal identity and familial relationships–this fuels my deep engagement with the subject matter and materials I research by discovering the connections and insights that go unnoticed.
