Rebecca Ackroyd (b. 1987 in Cheltenham, UK) lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

Ackroyd's works delve into subtle examinations of human bodies, memory of the subconscious, and dimensions of sexuality in space. She synthesizes elements of abstraction and figuration into a coherent but enigmatic language, often materialized in complex installations and body-like sculptures.
