Rachel Adams @ Domobaal

Rachel Adams’ practice is rooted in an exploration of domestic material, as she looks at the balance between the functional and the decorative, and investigates the position that such material holds within a culture of mass production. By revisiting crafted upholstery materials and techniques such as drapery trims and tassel fringes through sculpture, drawing and animation, her work sets up a new dialogue with old fashioned and typically feminine objects and processes. These installations present anthropomorphic qualities, and show new objects, which balance domestic, utilitarian and fetishist influences.
