Weaver

Emma Shepherd - Sundance Studio

Emma Shepherd, a weaver from Flinders, honors the ancient craft of weaving with an artistic approach that reflects her natural surroundings. She draws on yarns from around the world and explores the historical significance of fiber, viewing weaving as one of humanity's earliest forms of expression. Incorporating elements of Bauhaus design, Shepherd uses colors inspired by local landscapes—green foliage, dark tree trunks, and neutral sand and rock—while also integrating materials like pine needles, horsehair, and bark. This blend of diverse textures and hues allows her work to resonate with both her environment and the rich traditions of weaving.
