EMMA KLAU - INSPIRED BY NATURE
Friday February 3 - Sunday March 18
Growing up in South Australia, Jam Factory Associate Emma Klau has been fortunate to have always been surrounded by incredible fauna and flora; from the
Adelaide
hills to the Flinders Rangers. During trips hiking and camping she has been inspired by a variety of natural forms from extravagant ferns and wild flowers to giant gum trees and dry bush lands.
Inspired by Nature utilises the organic nature of glass, using a combination of intricate and subtle techniques of colour application to capture the sometimes detailed and other times simple qualities of the unique shapes and forms of the organic. When Emma blows glass she also draws on the mediums organic nature as inspiration. ‘Its aliveness as it expands moves and drips around the pipe, bright and oozing with life.’
The glass forms in this exhibition reflect the constant wonderment Emma experiences when observing the beauty of the natural environment she grew up in.
