With a keen observation of nature, Emma Rosa uses multi-disciplinary techniques and mixed media to create botanical studies from fabric & thread.
She is drawn to botanical illustrations, how they capture the whole plant – every element is important, not just the flower that most regard as the focus of beauty - where science and art meet.
Nestled in the heart of rural Devon, the turning of the seasons, conservation and folklore are the threads that weave through her work.

I use deadstock and scrap silk fabric to created my sculptures, and find old antique bottles, science equipment and glass domes for presentation.
Conservation is key to what fuels my work and ideas, and I wish to reflect that as much as possible in the sourcing of my materials.
