Ruby Taglight (b.1993) is a British jeweller and metal artist. Her practice blends ornament and function, using lost wax casting to reinterpret stories through a feminine-queer lens. Drawing from mythology, superstition, medieval literature, and the Renaissance, the work explores the boundary of over-embellishment. The process is crucial. The deliberate act of casting wax into metal - quite literally - solidifies narratives, inviting interaction with each painstaking detail to reveal the story. Through use of the object, these stories are celebrated and brought to the forefront of the viewers experience.
