She is also a tenure professor at Parsons Paris for the last seven years.<\/p>\n<p>Rachel\u2019s work investigates the relationship between nature and humanity. Her practice explores how trees thrive together within the forest community primarily through site specific large scale installation and performance, as well as sculpture, painting and drawing. \u00a0Her materials consist mostly of abandoned books and paper, metamorphosing back to their natural source. \u00a0Her goal as an artist is to bring public awareness to nature&#8217;s complexity and beauty to promote preservation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her works and performances are regularly shown in France as well as internationally.
