Rachael Colley is an interdisciplinary Birmingham-based artist and lecturer at the Sheffield Institute of Arts (SIA), Sheffield Hallam University. In 2010 she gained an MA in goldsmithing, silversmithing, metalwork and jewellery from the Royal College of Art. Her current collection M(eat) et al sits alongside a complimentary set of Ambiguous Implements for eating, grooming and cleaning, that jointly serve to highlight aspects of contemporary consumer culture.
Statement
M(eat) et al is a developing collection that juxtaposes foodstuffs with the flesh of the human body, highlighting abject associations and our relationship with food and its consumption. These wearables seek to defamiliarise everyday organic substances through denaturing processes and the materials’ re-presentation as jewellery. The degradable materials’ limited lifespan highlights the fleeting and complex nature of human existence and the passing of time, suggesting the ultimate end that conventional jewellery circumvents through its endurance. M(eat) et al is designed to sit alongside a complimentary set of Ambiguous Implements for eating, grooming, and cleaning, that jointly serve to highlight aspects of contemporary consumer culture.CV
