Rachel Adams is a lecturer in the Sculpture and Environmental Art department. Her artistic practice reimagines gallery spaces as speculative arenas of work and leisure. By doing so, her practice examines the hierarchies of work and their interaction with cultural labour practices and materials. She has exhibited nationally and internationally. Recent solo exhibitions include Damp, (2022), domobaal, London Home Grown (2021), Yoshimi Arts, Osaka, Noon, David Dale Galleries and Studio, Glasgow, Lowlight, Bloc Projects, Sheffield, Right Twice a Day, Jerwood Project Space, (all 2018), How to Live in a Flat, The Tetley, Leeds (2014); Spacecraft, Tramway, Glasgow (2013). In 2015-6 Adams was the Sainsbury Scholarship in Painting and Sculpture at the British School at Rome and in 2023 was a recipient of a Henry Moore Artist Award.
