Hi! I’m Rachel Nord. I am an Australian-born, Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist and writer.
My work spans sound, poetry, visual art and participatory artworks. It is grounded in a desire to create spaces where wonder and tenderness can be explored and transformed, particularly in relation to the polycrisis.
I draw on my background in art therapy and a lifelong connection to the natural world.
