Rachael Colley is a Birmingham-based interdisciplinary artist and senior lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University. Her research explores degradable organic material’s decorative features and limited lifespans, highlighting the fleeting and complex nature of human existence and the passing of time, suggesting the ultimate end that conventional jewellery circumvents through its endurance. She is currently investigating whether jewellery with a food-based element of content, when presented alongside food and ambiguous eating implements, has the potential to create a new bodily experience.
