Textile works Emily has created for specific projects.
‘Bird Kites’ was a site specific community kite flying performance. The workshops were delivered alongside artist Felix Prater, The Avon Wildlife Trust and Imayla. 20 large delta kites were made by Emily and Felix prior to the event using cotton, wooden spars and ribbon. The artworks were transfered using heat reactive dyes. The participating children kept their kites to continue to fly, play and coonect with their nature. This artwork was made upon the request of The Avon Wildlife Trust for their ‘My Wild City’ project, connecting locals with their nature reserves within Bristol.
