Rachel Ormshaw is an interdisciplinary artist whose work moves between sculpture, sound, and video. Weaving is a constant, both as a material practice and as a way of thinking that binds together found objects, cast metals, wax, and field recordings into layered explorations of craft, memory, and transformation.
Drawn to materials that hold histories, she considers the ways in which objects accumulate meaning over time, questioning the boundaries between use and value, permanence and impermanence. Sound functions as another form of collection, gathered with the same instinct as the objects she incorporates or cloth she weaves, an archive of moments, distorted and reassembled.
Ormshaw holds a Bachelor of Design in Textile Design from OCAD University and a Master’s in Visual Studies from the University of Toronto. Her work lingers in the in-between spaces: tactile and ephemeral, personal and universal, solid and dissolving.
