RACHY MCEWAN


Rachy McEwan is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher based in London. She graduated with a First Class BA in Painting and Printmaking from The Glasgow School of Art (2020), receiving the RSA New Contemporaries Award, and earned a Distinction in her MA in Material Futures at UAL: Central Saint Martins (2024), where she was shortlisted for the Maison/0 LVMH Maison Award.

Her practice combines art and technology to create systems and experiences exploring urban ecology, interactivity, and the ways audiences engage with both digital and physical environments. Working across painting, programming, 3D imaging, and interactive design, she develops experimental platforms that encourage reflection on human-environment relationships, technological processes, and participatory engagement.

Rachy challenges traditional approaches to perception, bridging natural, artificial, and non-human worlds. Collaborating across disciplines including engineering, arboriculture, and science, her work blends technical experimentation with conceptual inquiry, offering new ways to understand and interact with contemporary ecological, technological, and urban systems.

2025MONEY TREES: I’M A GHOST NOW, LOOK HOW YOU HOLD ME

Money Trees: I’m a Ghost Now, Look How You Hold Me emerges from Money Trees—a platform connecting digital tree assets to real-world tree care. This new body of work pairs oil-on-canvas paintings with their digital counterparts, each derived from 3D scans of London trees that have been felled or forgotten. In this final iteration, the project reflects on how preservation can take shape in both pigment and pixels—how memory might linger between the material and the virtual.
