About the artist
Engaging every sense within a work, Rachel de Cuba looks to create a living extension of herself; birthing work in order to create dialogue with an audience. Incorporating a number of materials and collected ephemera she seeks to marry digital apparatuses with craft-based approaches to fibers. Rachel’s research focuses on the societal impact of domestic structures on migration and citizenship in the Americas. Rachel received her BFA in 2013 from Flagler College in Saint Augustine Florida. She now resides in Bloomington with her partner, Matthew Batty, and dogs, Georgia and Jambalaya. Rachel de Cuba is completing her MFA in digital Media at Indiana University in Bloomington.
