Rachel Joynt RHA

Born in Caherciveen, Co. Kerry in 1966, Rachel grew up in Dublin and graduated with a Degree in Sculpture from National College Of Art & Design in 1989.  

Joynt’s work is predominantly site-specific; this goes for both her sand installations and public artworks. Her installations include Selene at Project Art Centre (1993) and Feed at Temple Bar Galleries (1999). Her public artworks include People’s Island (1988) on Dublin’s O’Connell Street Bridge, Mothership at Dun Laoghaire seafront (1999), Starboard alongside the River Lagan, Belfast (2001) and Noah’s Egg outside the Veterinary Building at University College Dublin (2004).

A solo exhibition of new work by Rachel Joynt will take place at Solomon from 29 May - 21 June 2025
