Object and image form within and outside of a system they both construct and deconstruct. It is a formal investigation that indulges ideas of belonging and place.Rachael Wong investigates systems and form to explore her contemporary context.

She was the recipient of the 2010 RBC Award for Glass and her work is included in the collections of the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery and the City of Lommel, Belgium. Working through installation, drawing, and material, she studies process and structure, while questioning aspects of her surroundings.
