THE GIRL WHO LURKS BEHIND THE WORK
Rachel Weaver is an Australian Surreal Horror Artist, specialising in sickly sweet creations. Her work is driven by an eternal love of all things scary, fused with 80's nostalgia and sugary pastels. Fuelled by a relentless and overactive imagination, her work thrills some and disturbs others...
Her work has been described as "delightfully horrid" and "weirdly cool" giving new meaning to the term "sickly sweet". Jelly beans mixed with maggots, chewed bubble gum, rotten teeth, rainbow sprinkles and bloodshot eyeballs.
I've dragged Willy Wonka kicking and screaming straight to hell.
The twisted contrast of decay and preservatives, gore and candy - I just love it! My work may be creepy, cute and nostalgic or just plain weird. I make what brings me joy. People either love it, or hate it. But they can't look away and they can't unsee it.
Rachel Weaver resides in the windy city of Geraldton Western Australia, creating her unusual artworks from polymer clay, resin and mixed media. She is happiest binge watching horror, sketching out strange ideas and eating gummy bears.
