Baker Artist Portfolios

Rachel Stein is an interdisciplinary artist and educator based in Baltimore, Maryland, who aims to activate the mind and body through immersive installation that encompasses video, photography, soundscapes, and interactive sculpture.  Her interest in the connection between tactile experiences and inner states of being has inspired her to consider ways of reframing the body in relation to everyday materials, particularly synthetics.   Rather than trying to return to a pristine world, her work provides alternative ways of being-with the waste and pollution that we inherit. She invites viewers to question their own consumer reality and relationship with pleasure through sensory stimuli.
