Rachel Alber

Thank you for your interest in my work.
My work is inspired by natural design and how it relates to our human social construction and the potential for new social pattern perspectives. I am an artist and a social worker. The combining of these two disciplines has motivated me to explore how patterns develop and what they look like visually and how they are naturally formed. By exploring human social structures, and balance in natural patterns I find similarities in how the connected areas in patterns create strength and beauty in nature, and within our own human communities.
