Rebecca Hutchinson is known for large site-specific installations. Her work is built on armatures, some are woven mostly of natural materials. Some of the elements attached to these frames or assembled in floor installations are made of porcelain paper clay.She describes her process as, ?involved dipping, hand modeling,slip trailing, coating handmade paper forms and pouring paperclay slip between papers, cutting and then constructing.The forms are built with both fired and non-fired clay elements.? The installations have been designed and created for display in museums and public spaces around the world.

The installations are the result of work created in series. Each series has a title and a stated purpose. They include: Accommodation reflectsobservation of spacial accommodation that occurs in plant growth. Installations built either as night growth or daylight growth cultures actually provide space between bloom structures, Flourishreflects observation of ecosystem dynamics both during the day and at night that involve abundant growth within and on structure, Root/Hostreflects observation of roots and host dynamics within ecosystems with specific focus on disproportionate length of roots that sustain plant growth or hosts and are noticeably thin or frail, Densityreflects on observation of ecosystem bloom dynamics on land and underwater that involve abundant density as well as Persian bloom imagery found as both motif on ceramics and in rugs. and Determinate Growth exploresthe ability of botanical forms to grow despite boundaries to the point in which additional growth is accommodated and separate individual structures appear to be unified from the graceful growth patterns.
