Rackowe’s large-scale structures and light-filled sculptures are abstracted impressions of modern metropolitan life Influenced by Modernism, film and video games, Rackowe uses mass manufactured derivative products (glass, corrugated plastics, concrete, scaffolding, breeze blocks and strip lights) to recreate the visual and physical sensations of urban contemporary life.
“By decoding these experiences my works capture the chromatic nuance of desolate streets at dawn, the atmosphere as daylight fades into night and the shadows created by obtrusive cranes, scaffolding and skeletal buildings,” says Rackowe.
