House Conspiracy's Jonathan O'Brien chats with Rachael Wellisch about living in Dubai and how the history of indigo is an illuminating touchstone for New Materialism.

Rachael Wellisch’s practice is positioned within a conceptual framework that considers humans and culture in relation to physical matter. The process of indigo dying is integral to Wellisch’s work, in which she transforms matter to objects of cultural significance. Wellisch completed Honours at the Queensland College of Art. In 2016 Wellisch received the St Andrews War Memorial Hospital Art Award.
