Rachel Johnson (b.1992) is a North American artist working regionally along the East Coast. Her media specific, video and performance-based works unveil the temporal nature of the human within the frameworks of biological desire that guide the evolution of our virtual/material landscapes and poetics.

Often compiling extensive research on a particular subject, she translates research into entrancing and polyphonous media in order to reconcile varied methodologies for understanding our orientation to living organisms from the scientific to the metaphysical, decenter singular classification systems as a means for understanding and identifying phenomena and propose experiential ontologies.

She traces her own origins to the humid subtropics of North Carolina and has no reaction to poison ivy, pollen, or mosquito bites.
