Based on a farm in Somerset, Emma is hugely inspired by the materiality of glass and the ideology behind the hand of the maker. With a strong emphasis on process, she works with themes of narrative and sentiment to create artworks in glass. Emma has worked with glass for over ten years, initially encountering the material whilst studying Applied Arts at Bournemouth University, she received her BA(hons) from Sunderland University in 2014.
Her passion for learning and understanding the material has driven her to work with an abundance of glassmakers in a variety of locations.
In the artist's own words;
"Specialising in blown glass, my practice has always explored a curiosity around memories and the events we experience throughout life. How can a memory fill us with feelings of euphoria & excitement at the same time as loneliness & sadness? The emotions we experience surely have a weighting on the creation of our memories.
