INTERVIEW | Raine Storey

Raine Storey is a Canadian visual artist based in London, England. Storey’s work combines her Fine Art and Art History degree with her ‘higher education’ at the ‘school of hard knocks’. It is the latter that led her examination into why she creates. Storey aims to contribute to the renewed identity of raw materials. The artwork recycles and preserves historic waste, including London’s House of Parliament restoration, to place back on the walls.
