Rachel Bacon is a visual artist and drawing tutor in the Fine Arts department of the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague. Currently based in Brussels, she completed her MA Drawing at the University of the Arts London in 2016, where she developed a drawing practice with a specific visual vocabulary, pared down to paper, graphite, grid and crumple. Her recent work and research investigates the additive mark-making of drawing, and the extractive one of mining, exploring the role of drawing within larger issues concerning landscape, extraction industries and the aesthetics of the climate emergency.
