Emma screen prints mostly original one-off works of geometric art predominately on paper but also on wood at Spike Print Studio in Bristol.
She uses the screen as a drawing tool to explore the relationship between colour, shape and pattern. She is currently investigating the versatility of one shape, the hexagon. Singularly, the hexagon is still, flat, complete. When multiplied, overlaid, varied in colour and opacity, it presents an infinite realm of possibilities. It morphs and disguises itself amongst other forms. It creates movement, rhythm, and illusion, connecting with others to resemble cubes and producing multiple patterns. Emma has recently printed onto bigger, wooden panels, which creates a warmer texture, and allows her to further develop this line of enquiry.
The language of colour allows Emma to express herself. She loves to play with the interaction and transparency of the ink. She instinctively uses certain colours which harmonise and contrast together creating a sense of depth and balance between chaos and control. The use of neon and metallic colours feature heavily in her work and reminds us of the precise handmade quality of the prints. Emma works in a methodical way; striving for accuracy and seeking alignment and order, applying a mathematical approach and finding inspiration from geometry and Op Art.
