Rachel is a Glasgow based visual artist working primarily in drawing. She works on research based projects to explore repeated rhythms, patterns, and structures found in different contexts, including landscape, architecture, the flow of water and biological systems. She always begins with sketchbook drawings which sometimes culminate in process led experiments in the print workshop. She had undertaken artist residencies in Canada, Australia and The Outer Hebrides of Scotland as well as closer to home at the University of Glasgow.

Bronwen Sleigh is a multi-disciplinary artist who takes inspiration from industrial architecture, unused and forgotten urban spaces, and environments at the edge of the city.  Her work provokes an extended and considered dialogue with these spaces, which she transforms through the processes of her practice. 

Sleigh’s work explores space rather than describing it, challenging perceptions of the ordinary by presenting it in an unfamiliar way. Bronwen received her BA from Glasgow School of Art and MA from The Royal College of Art, where she was selected for a six week exchange to The University of Calgary, Canada.  She has worked for several arts organisations including The Royal College of Art, The Royal Academy Schools as a Print Fellow and at Edinburgh Printmakers as their etching technician and collaborating printer.
