Marjot Emily Jane | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Emily's three-dimensional creations are free from conventional techniques. The original methods of this English artist are based on the overlapping of volumes. Each element that is affixed adds something to the previous, offering a new interpretation of forms. Her creative process feeds off of the shapes and textures of salvaged objects. Emily uses unique materials, often neglected or subject to disposal, such as cans, pieces of wood or old pieces of paper. Some are fragile, others more robust. Their specific characteristics interest the artist and inspire surprising stratifications in her work. She recycles the utensils of daily life, taking advantage of their imperfections and their inconsistencies. Showing them in a new light, by diverting them from their original function, she gives them a second life.
