Final Presentation - Rachel Birtwistle

 Summary:

Rachel Birtwistle takes inspiration from many different artists and art movements from her time such as Francisco Goya, Surrealism, Robert Massin, and Constructivism. Themes often associated with her work are isolation, trauma, uncertainty, and folklore. She uses her interests, experiences, and client narratives to fuel her work. Often drawing from her own thoughts and emotions, she creates visually complex pieces that convey deeply intricate emotions leaving her viewers pondering over exactly what the message is.

Currently, she is trying to branch out from design projects that she finds comfortable in order to become the best designer she can be. She has a concept for a new project she is looking to complete during the summer of 2025 that allows her to explore more traditional layouts. This project focuses on gentrification and how luxury apartments are a contributing factor to it. The project aims to bring awareness to the situation of the rise of luxury apartments in areas of poverty. In the future, she aims to continue creating art that people can resonate with and take with them. 


Some Art Works in this Presentation are:

Red For Green: A commentary on greed, morality, and big corporations.


Soaked in Sorrow: A visual message of isolation, fear of change, and loss of time.


Vampires: A Dark Tale: A commentary on the romanticism of vampires in Hollywood and the true troubling history of their origin.
