100 x 7
W.15 x H.20 x D.15 cm
Originally from Cambridge, Emma completed her Art Foundation at Loughborough University in 2015 and went on to gain a BA in Applied Arts from the University of Wolverhampton in 2018, lateron gaining an MA in Ceramics and Glass from the Royal College of Art.
She constructs spaces with abstract architectural, and structural references into wholly sculptural forms. The work is based in hand-building, hand rolling individual coils of clay and painstakingly constructing and finishing the fragile and complex frameworks. The laborious and meditative nature of this process goes hand in hand with the focus on barriers, protection and entrapment.
With the piece, ‘100 x 7’ the limitations were placed on the size and quantity of rods used to build with. Each piece is comprised of 100 rods each 7cm long and from this very controlled starting point the structural forms evolve differentlyeach time. This objectexplores the inherently fragile line between the exposed and the enclosed. Contact
