Emily has developed a process of making floor tiles with a second layer of pattern beneath the surface, only revealing through natural wear in time to come. Emily’s practice is inspired by gifting the future, and it creates a dialogue between production, design and craft. The work speaks about durability at a time when most goods are disposable and integrity of process instead of focusing on surface impressions.

Focus:
Tile Making
Perennial Patterns
Gothic Revival in Guava
