Edward Rauer is a visual artist and storyteller. His artwork is often inspired by memories of his family and Irish heritage. He creates collages, ‘splash’ paintings and wire sculptures.
Rauer is part of Studio Me, Blue Room’s artist development project. Find out more about Studio Me, Blue Room and discover other Studio Me artists at the bottom of this page.
‘I do collages, but I don’t put them together until I find out how they go. When I find out how they go, I stick them down. I arrange them the way I want. It comes out good in the end and it stands out.’
