Emily Knight

Colour pattern and texture have always been important throughout my work. While visiting the recent ‘Masterpieces of Chinese Painting’ exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum, I was drawn to the simple yet elegant lines and shapes that Chinese painters have developed to suggest botanical forms. By finely hand piercing intricate organic forms, I then use the process of enamelling to create a strong colour palette and expressive mark making.
