Jacqueline Fraser’s three-dimensional practice artfully employs the images and materiality of popular and consumer culture, to create works wherein typically dissociated fields are comingled. Her embellished collages combine symbols of brash luxury with tawdry domestic materials, exploiting the tropes of fashion and décor to undermine traditional hierarchies between art and design.
