Rachel Enright Murphy is a multidisciplinary artist and writer from Dublin. Through video, sound, performance, and textual material, her work aims to interrogate language’s relationship to the human voice. Rachel works across a range of disparate subject matter, focusing on how emotion or intonation of the voice both succeeds and fails to transcend language. She is concerned in the vibratory aspect of the human voice in comparison to writing; as sound is both felt and heard. Announcement, liveness, and factual documentation are key elements of her work as she reconfigures linguistic forms and creates alternate communication methods. She holds a BA of Fine Art Media with Critical Cultures from The National College of Art and Design Dublin.
