Emma Graham - Designer and Artist
Within my practice, I am overall compelled by the exploration of new techniques that push me to grow personally and artistically. I find different processes of creating intriguing—from the process of traditional photography to the process of hand weaving. I am also interested in surface design and finding ways to create engaging and active surfaces.
Textiles and fibers have a large impact on my work, as does the pattern and decoration movement.
