Current practice

Rachel Baylis’ practice involves film, animation and performance.  She is currently working on a series of films and performances, reflecting the importance of communication and connection, locally, globally and personally. Her performances and installations provide a space or an experience for the viewer to reflect and find their own voice and views.  The personal is political.  The purpose of power is to  give it away.

Baylis is based at the University of Chichester, and London.
