a solo exhibition of new sculpture by Rachel Adams (b. Newcastle upon Tyne, 1985)

Adams practice is rooted in an exploration of domestic material, looks at the calance between the functional and the decorative and investigates the position that such material holds within a culture of mass production. Sculpture plays a fundamental role in Adams’ process and acknowleges the anti-form sculpture of the 1960’s. 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 fetishistic influences.
