As Night Falls captures the colours hues and shadows thrown at dusk. This work particularly draws on many fond memories of evenings at the river and beach watching the moon’s reflection on the water. This work uses colour, texture and a variety of mediums with different sheen to enhance the reflective effect, finishing with glass beads for optimal impact.
 
The theme is consistent with Rachel's current work, which explores Australia’s unique ecosystem, rich colours and topography. The spiral, which can be seen in all of her current work, symbolises evolution and our relationship with and impact on the environment in hope that we as a society can appreciate, protect and nurture what we have before it’s too late.
