Rachel Kendrigan

Rachel Kendrigan is an emerging artist born in Mildura and now based in Hobart, Tasmania. Her practice and passion is centred around drawing, and using the notions of drawing as a starting point for exploring the body in space, the body as a drawing tool, and the creation of line through movement in space. Rachel engages in performative actions in spaces and landscapes which she holds a personal connection, her performances involving the body as the active agent within rituals associated with creation, intimacy and personal transformation. Rachel presented her first live performance at the Mildura Palimpsest Biennale #9 in 2013 and has gone on to further explore the remediation of her performative practice through video, photography, objects and installation. She recently graduated first class from the Tasmanian College of the Arts Honours Research program.
