Rachel Devorah Rome

Artist Statement

I improvise with bespoke electronics (both analog and digital) and with French horn (my mother tongue) to create immersive structures that reveal and reframe habits of autoecholocation. I’m interested in superhuman prolongation; opaque complexity; the resignification of archaic tools and materials; and parallels between the physical properties and social meanings of spaces. I value machines for their patience.
