Emma Rawson

My works are inspired by living near the sea and by the tales told by my father who was for 5 years a deep-sea trawlerman.  I think it’s because of those tales that I have always wanted to live near the sea and moved out of London.

The pieces are made by screen printing onto cast sheets of glass, firing these, then assembling into a mould, casting and finally cold working and polishing.  The interior patterns are domestic, taken from net curtains, shadows and trees from the family home where these stories were told and heard.
