Rachel Wyatt defines each chapter of her life by the city she lives in. As a queer child of immigrants in a northern, working-class town in England, Wyatt was isolated and out of place. As an adult, Wyatt ventured to London where she discovered the anonymity and possibilities of city life, and Melbourne; emigrating as her parents did, still in search of belonging. Always the outsider, Wyatt observes from the periphery. Influenced by street photography, Rachel Wyatt’s subjects are both the inhabitants of cities and the cities themselves. The vivid snapshots she creates are often of recognisable neighbourhood staples, or they are celebrations of anonymous would-be passers-by. These people truly inhabit their environment, even define it. Perhaps these people do not question that they belong.
