Reid Peppard creates androgynous jewellery and accessories out of creatures’ corpses.
Peppard juxtaposes luxurious materials with carefully reconstructed corpses of small ‘vermin’ like a little rat protruding from the centre of a black leather bowtie adorned with Swarovski crystal eyes, whilst ‘London caught’ mice clutch at silver metal skulls hanging from silver chains. Expanding the collection beyond jewellery, also hand-crafted is a coin purse made entirely of a large white rat complete with a black velvet lining, pigeon wing headpieces and hair combs amongst the winged necklaces.
Although I would not personally wear any of these creations, I find it creepy and disturbing and I like it.
