Textile Artwork
Emma works with reclaimed fabric using innovative methods of hand painting directly on to the surface of the textiles. Each fabric produces a unique quality depending on the way it behaves with the applicaiton of paint. It can often create watermarks and surface textures which are capricious and exciting. This is then enhanced with a combination of free motion embroidery and hand stitches. adding linear marks and textural surface qualities.
Textile Art made from reclaimed fabrics
Emma's Original Art work combines two process the handpainting of an image directly onto fabric and the art of drawing with stitch. Combining the two to create a unique landscape or seascape. Further to this Emma uses fabric remmants and reclaims fabrics by cutting and re-arranging to create a collage image which uses fabrics natural patterns or prints to depict the hebrides in a innovative form of art. Emma's aim is to create an affordable piece, for visitors and locals alike to gift or purchase art for their homes or to share. All the original art is created on Emma's croft on the East Coast of the island, this wonderfully quiet and beautiful village of Kershader looking across to Loch Erisort has been the subject of many of her pieces. Emma's croft house is pictured in the background image.
