Rachel Ducker
With an incredibly visual, active mind, Rachel has an insatiable desire to create and make. Well practised in life drawing and with an appreciation of the human form and the emotional dynamics of human nature, combined with being originally trained as a jeweller, lead her to experiment with wire as a medium for sculpting the human form, capturing something ephemeral, either emotive or active.
With an incredibly visual, active mind, Rachel has an insatiable desire to create and make. Well practised in life drawing and with an appreciation of the human form and the emotional dynamics of human nature, combined with being originally trained as a jeweller, lead her to experiment with wire as a medium for sculpting the human form, capturing something ephemeral, either emotive or active.
Rachel uses no model and she doesn’t form the shape around anything. The posture is first designed and then the pieces are carefully moulded by hand and then gradually added to, wrapping wire, layer by layer. She discovered that the slightest movement in the angle of the hand or fingers, or the tilting of the head, changes everything the figure is portraying.
Her sculptures being featureless leaves the posture to say all, expressing the feeling, movement and energy. The hair creates the scene, making all more turbulent, dramatic, and adding latent movement and tenacity.
