Emma Shepherd

Flinders-based weaver, Emma, practices one of the world's oldest crafts with a sensibility of an artist deeply embedded in her environment. Using yarns collected from all around the world, she reflects on the deeper history of fibre, its role in human history and weaving's legacy as humanity's earliest algorithms in action. Thinking through the fabric, its strength and structure, as well as the ethos of Bauhaus textiles, Shepherd folds in colours resembling green foliage, the dark tones of tree trunks, the neutrals of the sand and the rock other hometown, Flinders. Her work incorporates materials like pine needles, horsehair and barktaken from Shepherd’s immediate surroundings, letting them shape the work in a gentle yet deliberate way.
