As well as her very popular public commission work at Wells, Rachael Long has her sculptures in collections based in France, Austria, New Zealand and the US. Rachael makes large scale sculpture of animals and birds, using redundant farm machine parts. They are welded together and sometimes forged to subtly change them. The alchemical transformation of cold hard metal into fluid animated creatures interests her. Rachael graduated in History of Modern Art, Design and Film at the then Newcastle Polytechnic, now the University of Northumbria. She also has an MA in Fine Art from Norwich University of the Arts, graduating in 2018.
