Current Obsessions feature on Decalcomania

The reflective platform, Current Obsessions, dedicated to contemporary jewellery, has featured the project Decalcomania, created by Hermione Spriggs and I in April 2011.
With a moto of "jewellery is what you make of it", meaning that they do not comply with accepted boundaries, preferring to claim things to "become", to open the potential possibilities of the contemporary jewellery field.

Decalcomania at the National Railway Museum

Decalcomania

“Queen posts”
“Sprag”
“Diamond Switch”
“Shoe beam”
"Jim Crow"

Glass cases of organized, annotated objects present a veneer of truth. They exude an aura of impenetrable distance: the standard museum display presents a one-way system of knowledge dissemination. Decalcomania is a collaborative project between Suzi Tibbetts and Hermione Spriggs. Beginning with terms taken from the railway dictionary, and obstinately blind to their original definition, new object-subjects will be intuitively fabricated. These artworks (‘faux’-artefacts) will then be inserted into cabinets within the Station Hall.
