Rachel Maclean is a Scottish fine artist who uses film and photography to create strange worlds and scenarios that represent social and political issues. Although I have no interest in her media choice, I am of her context and her approach to it. Everything seems to be drenched in irony and satire, which I would have thought would be a bit too much, but I think it works. Maybe I need to be more out there with my work to really engage people, especially as I want to target my work towards younger people. This also reminds me of Black Mirror, using metaphors and symbols to show social issues. I think this is what I want to get into for my FMP.
I've just seen that her exhibition is at the Tate Briton and its FREE! I'm going home in two weeks time so I'm going to go and check it out!
