Emma Studd
Emma uses the process of screen print to create mostly one-off, geometric works of art predominately on paper but also on wood. She uses the screen as a drawing tool to explore the relationship between colour, shape and pattern.
Emma plays with the transparency of colour and texture: exploring how they interact and overlay in predictable and unpredictable ways. She experiments with the tessellation of form and through layering shapes evokes a sense of illusion. Implementing her own systematic way of printmaking Emma adapts and responds to the work as it evolves on the page. Intuitively making decisions about the balance of tone and colour she allows the process to define the outcome.
Emma exhibits her work regularly around the UK in independent and group exhibitions, including The Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, The Other Art Fair, the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and the RWA Annual Open. She has a BA (Hons) in Textile Design, PGCE in Art and Design and more recently completed her MA in Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking. She currently prints & teaches at Spike Print Studio in Bristol.
