ABOUT
Rachel Burke is a Brisbane-based artist and designer working in wearable art and upcycled craft. Her practice centres on sentiment, memory, and emotional storytelling through hand-made objects, clothing, and accessories.
Drawing on a lifelong love of collecting, making, and transforming found materials, Rachel creates wearable works that blur the line between art, fashion, and craft. Her projects often explore nostalgia, loss, care, and the emotional weight we attach to objects, using playful colour and labour-intensive techniques to hold heavier themes.
Rachel’s work spans exhibitions, custom commissions, stage productions, publications, and community-focused craft projects. She is known for her distinctive visual language and for championing slow, expressive making as a form of connection and storytelling.
