Teaming up with writer - curator Nico Kos Earle and a school of esteemed poets, artist Emma Witter releases a limited edition artist book ‘Victorian Gold’ featuring sculpture based photography, curatorial and creative writing.
Proceeds from the book will be donated to The Blue Marine Foundation.
Emma Witter
'Emma Witter is an artist that dreams with her hands and works to another time, where nothing is disposable and everything she touches might turn to gold. Working intuitively with found and rescued
biomass - by-products of London’s restaurant industry or salvaged mud larking on the banks of the river Thames - her sculptures are sensational and beguiling. Witter breathes new life into lost things, and shows us value where we saw only waste. Her process is alchemical, transforming what has been discarded into what must be saved, and her art speaks to our contemporaneous notion of the sublime.
Born in 1989, she lives and works in London and holds a first-class honours degree in Performance Design from Central Saint Martins. On graduating, Witter won the ‘Seed Fund’ Award’ from the University of the Arts London – a grant to set up her own studio practice, followed by ‘Best New Business Award’ during UAL Enterprise Week.
Numerous exhibitions include solo shows ‘Bloom’ at Hix Art in 2018, ‘Remember You Must Die’ at Sarabande Foundation in 2019 and ‘A Moveable Feast’ for the Portman Estate in 2022.'
