Jeweller Emma Lawrence is also a self-taught bead-smith. Inspired by the vast body of beadwork and the wider material culture of adornment she aims to create unique bold pieces. Juxtaposing clean lines with intricate details, bold clashing colour with monotone metalwork her work is playful, well crafted and invites a closer look. Influenced by her degree in Anthropology to view adornment as social agent she invites the wearer to begin a joyful engagement with her pieces.
Focus:
Body adornment emphasising colour and form often weaving glass beads.
We have only one planet with finite resources therefore I want to respect this and aim to consider how I use these resources. I use recycled metal and chose either antique glass beads or contemporary ones from a known source (whom I am in communication with regarding processes and employee ethics) as a source of colour. I work alone but where I outsource I only do so where I am happy with their environmental and work practices.
