Bio


Rachel Enright-Murphy is a visual artist whose work combines moving image, sound, performance and printed material with text. From these, she explores textual error and ambiguity  - confronting the boundaries and inadequacies of written, as opposed to spoken, language. She often creates intimate narratives within formal or bureaucratic structures as she draws from a range of documentary sources - scientific papers, historical and legal documents - to examine the production of identity, objective truth and collective experience.

Rachel graduated from NCAD in 2022 with a BA in Fine Art Media with Critical Cultures. In 2025 she was awarded the Temple Bar Graduate Residency and the Pan Pan 12th International Mentorship with Caden Manson. Other recent engagements include: Clerical Error (2025) - a solo show in the Ormond Project Space, participating in SIM Residency, Reykjavik (2024) and a group show in Kunstverein Ars Avanti, Leipzig (2023). Her practice has been supported by a Visual Arts Bursary (2025) and a Agility Award (2024) from the Arts Council and an Emerging Artist Bursary (2024) and General Artist Grant (2023) from Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council.
