Emma Ford
Juxtaposing aesthetic forms and painterly mark-making with a conceptual undertone, my work aims to recreate revivalist versions of classical design structures, that in the first instance suggest harmony, but on closer inspection communicate something more.
My work oscillates between fulfilling a desire to create visually stimulating designs and aiming to convey issues that are present in our modern world. Incorporating traditional techniques with a contemporary focus on thoughts and processes, my work looks to subtly convey environmental and conservational matters such as deforestation, overfishing, loss of habitat, which question our relationship with nature and an ever expanding industrial society through surface pattern design.
