Creatives in Residence Showcase: A Physical Response to Scars

“My work translates lived experience into visual storytelling, using broken materials as a metaphor for emotional and physical reconstruction.”

Multidisciplinary artist RACH is showcasing her body of work titled ‘A Physical Response to Scars’. This project is rooted in imperfection, recovery, and the therapeutic power of making.

Rachael brings over 20 years of experience in commercial design, however radically shifted her focus following a series of life-altering events. From corporate burnout, the passing of her mother and an accident that left her impaled by glass. In response Mosaic became an instinctive and deeply personal form of expression.

About the Creatives in Residence Showcase

Over the past year, Lincoln’s Creative in Residence have been exploring new ideas, testing ambitious concepts and developing their practice.
This season brings together the outcomes of that work in a cohesive programme of five events, each offering a distinctive artistic voice while collectively celebrating each creative individually.

Developed between July 2025 and summer 2026, this season will mark the culmination of a year-long period of research, experimentation and making, inviting audiences to discover the artists and ideas shaping some of Lincoln’s creative community.
