EMMA SKELDON
As an artist, Emma seeks to fuse the natural and artificial within a fairy tale narrative. Her collection – inspired by the creation of life – is a wry comment on the beautiful unpredictability of nature.
The Glasgow-based photographer uses real flowers to capture the rose motif found in stories such as Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and Rose Red.
For these pieces, Emma weaved the tale of a creator in their studio making flowers for the earth’s landscapes. Her vibrant colours and sculptural element belie the title ‘offcuts’, as the images are a thing of beauty. Delicate petals and viscous paint combine to create photographs that are both alluring and unsettling. Emma says: “In all design and creativity, there aremistakes. My work captures a fleetingmoment of beauty when the artificial paint and natural flower look beautiful together, before the flower is eventually destroyed by the paint.”
