‘People Only Die For Love In Movies’

Sotheby’s , Kiddell Gallery, New Bond Street, London

18th – 20th July 2006

An exhibition of Rachel's cake sculptures was held at Sotheby's Kiddell Gallery, 34-35 New Bond Street, the focal point of the show being a large cake triptych ‘The Two Faced French Fancies’, which Rachel produced as a large sculpture entry for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2006. Although the entry was rejected by the Academy it caught the eye of Sotheby’s CEO Robin Woodhead and art curator Janice Blackburn. Robin Woodhead invited her to display it in the Kiddell Gallery. Rachel produced new pieces of work to display alongside her triptych including two gay wedding cakes and a cake shrine dedicated to her father Peter Mount.

She is a gifted artist whose work is full of wickedly observational wit and irony and often a dark message lurking beneath it’s sweet exterior.

The exhibition was very warmly received by a wide audience and the press. Rachel would like to thank Robin and Janice for giving her the opportunity, the wonderful staff at Sotheby's for their enthusiastic professionalism and everyone who supported her in making the exhibition such a great success.
