Abstract
This paper investigates jewellery through the concepts of queer identity and queer space to understand the relevance of the identity, materiality and scale of this object to the queer archive. Three forms of the queer archive are proposed, which consider the memory recall, materiality and production of jewellery. The research is driven by nine interviews to explore the queer experience of making and wearing jewellery, introduced with portraits of the participants. Concepts have been employed from texts that explore queer studies, queer space and archiving. I, as author and maker, have produced a series of jewellery objects to explore the materialisation of these concepts; the made objects are a product of the research and represent an addition to the queer archive. The intimate and tactile nature of the research has been demonstrated as a valuable approach that should be employed to broaden our understanding of the queer archive.
