Administrative / Biographical History
Born in Canada 1991, moved to Brussels 1998. Currently living in Pforzheim, Germany.Emma graduated with a first class BA (Hons) in Silversmithing and Jewellery from the Glasgow School of Art in 2013. She was awarded the P Wylie David Prize. She is now working on a second degree in Goldsmithing at the renowned Goldschmiedeschule in Pforzheim, Germany until 2016. The shapes and forms found in the isometric lattice structure of gold and other precious materials are explored in her graduate work. Her pieces are based on visual interpretations and manipulations of patterns that she identifies in the microscopic grids. Her design development is influenced by mathematic repetition, and incorporates elements of science and modernism. The laser-welding machine allows her to quickly create lightweight, three-dimensional jewellery out of very thin stainless steel wire. Because of the microscopic aspect of the technique, her pieces are precise as well as delicate in their final form.
Acquisition Information
Purchased from the artist with funds from the Peter Wylie Davidson prize.
