Bacon: artist she reveals on the periphery? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rashers

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bacon' is the definition.
(as in rashers of bacon)

'artist she reveals on the periphery?' is the wordplay.
'artist' becomes 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'she' becomes 'her' (I've seen this in other clues).
'reveals' becomes 'ss' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'on the periphery?' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'her' going inside 'ss' is 'shers'.
'ra'+'shers'='RASHERS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rashers that I've seen before include "Thin slices of bacon" , "eaten at breakfast" , "Tasty strips of bacon" , "Meat slices" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
