Since then she has been steadily making work throughout the UK, by a variety of residencies, commissions and artist-led projects. Her work in can be seen through a series of acclaimed projects - at times incorporating visual art, film, music and sound-art, often in collaboration with other artists. She has a particular interest in Scottish culture and identity and in working across art-forms. She creates work about boundaries: between people, within landscapes, between layers of meaning, narrative and time. Rebecca is currently based in Fife, Scotland, where she writes, gives readings and workshops. She also has a role running Forgan Arts Centre in Newport-on-Tay, where she curates the programme and develops opportunities for others to be involved in the arts.
'beautiful, lyrical work... a vision which is perhaps nearer the truth than we know.'
'Impossible not to be moved by these restless, shifting poems… This is a beautifully balanced work, a collection that is both unnervingly strange yet also life-affirmingly human.'
'powerful and richly contemporary...'
'fascinatingly complex,
audacious and at times brain-poppingly clever work.'
