Rachael Jones is an artist-filmmaker and researcher whose landscape-based practice involves participants in the filmmaking process: rocks, plants and people, both natural and constructed. As a result, her films are made up of multiple playful assemblages that rely on collaboration.
Rachael’s films retain traces of process-driven interactions. She is involved in land-based, alternative and sustainable practices, using found materials and handmade processes where possible. She works by commission and, in addition, offers one-to-one mentoring support.
Rachael’s current work aims at demystifying the filmmaking process using experimental filmmaking and animation techniques to creatively connect participants to landscape as place. She is co-founder of the experimental research-led Growanen Collective. In 2023 she completed an AHRC-funded practice-based PhD at UAL through Falmouth University, which explored emergent mixed methods that call attention to the value of participation and process.
