Injecting Life into Old Photos

Olivia Racionzer is a found photo Artist based in Chepstow, Wales. She uses vintage photos, thread, and glue to create tactile pieces that evoke a deep sense of nostalgia.

Olivia studied Design for Performance and graduated from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama with a First Class (Hons) Degree. This led her to a career working in Film and TV, making and puppeteering for shows such as His Dark Materials and Doctor Who.

Whenever Olivia isn’t making puppets, she’s scouring flea markets and antique shops for discarded photos to work with. Her work bridges the gap between the past and the present, allowing viewers a glimpse into moments frozen in time and reimagined through her eyes.
