Rachel Bungey (b. 1992) is a London-based artist working across sculpture, drawing, and painting. She holds an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art (2023) and is based at the Bomb Factory Art Foundation. Her practice explores the entanglement of human and non-human life. Drawing on ideas from cyborg feminism, posthuman theory, and thinkers like Donna Haraway, Bungey examines contemporary entangled relationships with the physical world. Through material experimentation, she investigates how identity, gender, and species are shaped by interconnected systems - biological, technological, and social.
Bungey creates sculptural forms that reference living systems, often appearing fluid, hybrid, or in transition. Using a mix of traditional and digital processes - such as carving and casting, 3D printing, and robotics - her work blurs the boundaries between natural and synthetic, embracing the idea of mutation and challenging the notion of fixed identities. These "modern relics" reflect her ongoing interest in embodiment, and how we might imagine new ways of existing within a more entangled world.
