About Rachel Mulcahy

Statement

My work integrates elements of art and design in my tiled mural compositions. I draw inspiration from the often overlooked flora—those wild and invasive plants that thrive in the margins of human habitation, flourishing on roadsides and reclaiming vacant spaces. Through my intricate surfaces, I challenge the conventional perception of these species, transforming them from mere weeds into subjects of profound beauty and contemplation. By highlighting moments in nature that reveal the hidden intricacies of the natural world, I invite viewers to reconsider the parallels to the human experience such as growth, struggle, and beauty.
