Emma Grace
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Emma’s passion for the natural world informs her work. This passion is incorporated into sustainability principles within her jewellery and business practice. Emma has taken part in The Repairs Workshop, a collaborative investigation into the concept of ‘repair’, as a part of the State of Design Festival. She has also established The Treasury, a monthly workshop, run from her studio in Melbourne’s Nicholas Building, in which jewellery lovers are invited to bring in broken or unloved pieces to be fixed or re-imagined.
Emma’s work, predominantly in sterling silver and 18ct gold, contrasts bold lines with organic forms to build a playful tension. Drawing inspiration from the modern art movement and making reference to primal nature, Emma works this delicate balance to create emotional resonance. The simplicity of Emma’s work recalls the charming and illustrative aesthetics of naïve art while still maintaining a sophisticated minimalism.
