Rachel Mason works collaboratively to create visual imagery, including photography and moving image. She has shown collaborative projects at Open Eye Gallery and The Turnpike. Rachel is also FACT Liverpool’s Learning Producer, leading on production of FACT’s artistic programme within the Justice System and supporting on the young people’s programme. Whether working on long term projects, facilitating workshops or creating spaces for people to connect, her projects all revolve around establishing a dialogue and working cross disciplinary.

How I See It is a collaborative art project between Rachel and Anita, who has synaesthesia. Her synaesthesia manifests as every single word having a correlating internal image, some photographic and some 3D forms. Most are not a direct link to the word itself, with some words (mainly people’s names) producing a more prominent image, which is easier to articulate than others. This is a process based project learning about synaesthesia, articulation and representation through dialogue and photographic exchange
