FOUND FORAGED AND FALLEN

Emma Steger is a self-taught maker who emphasises sustainability, reusing and reforming wood, often gleaned from unexpected sources.

​

Emma's most recent sculptural forms are unrestricted by function or utility, embracing the material's properties, finding inspiration from the female form and nature herself - forms to be held and explored.

​

Not a calculating maker, Emma accepts the unpredictability of wood. She works in a free, unstructured way, often developing several pieces at once.  

​

Concerned as many are about the impact we have on our world, Emma is determined to leave no environmental trace. So she works only with reclaimed wood, adding no chemicals, plastic or resin to her pieces so they could eventually be returned to nature.
