Fading Current 35cmx75cm (unframed) 3D mixed media piece paper casted from handmade paper with experimental cyanotype and embedded with microplastics, raw pigments and air ink.

This latest series of work explores the fragility of our forests and temperate rain forests in the UK. The collagraph Prints are built on different levels with raw pigments, handmade paper, experimental cyanotype, and collage papers. I am currently on a journey to find non-toxic materials, Looking at the environmental impact we are having on our forests has made my intention to move towards a more sustainable way of working more important than ever before. Reviving Mires Series In my series Reviving Mires I am inviting people to engage with nature in a profound way, blending art and environmentalism to foster a deeper understanding of our ecological responsibilities. By transforming invasive plant species and carbon emissions into paper and ink, it challenges us to consider what other resources might be reimagined for environmental benefit. The materials also tell a story of the peatlands’ current state of health and the impact that invasive species, air pollution and wild fires have on these precious carbon sinks. I have been using raw pigments and granite dust, which are embedded into experimental cyanotype backgrounds, adding a sense of place and echoing the textures of the land in the work. Delicate paper castings portray fossil like imprints of endangered moorland plants, offering a poignant reminder of what our peatlands once harboured and what they might become if we fail to address the current crisis on the moors.

Tipping Point Series In my series Tipping Point I wanted to shine a light on how microplastics, often found in rockpools and coastlines, are a growing environmental concern due to their impact on marine ecosystems. By embedding foraged microplastics from the shoreline into my sculptural creations on handmade casted paper, I am bringing attention to these tiny pollutants, creating a tangible representation of a critical environmental issue often hidden from view. In my recent work paper castings of sea creatures and plant life portray a ghostly almost fossil like imprint of what was, what is and what could be if we fail to address the current problems facing our ocean.

Emma Lamb Fine Art: Emma Lamb is a South Devon based printmaker and mixed media artist exploring our human-nature connection. Her collagraph prints amplify nature up close, using natural and foraged materials to make handmade paper, raw pigments and recycled printing plates. Inspired by the wilderness of Dartmoor and the South Devon and Cornish coast, her work brings an awareness to the fragile state of our planet and the ecosystems within it. South Devon based printmaker and mixed media artist exploring our human-nature connection 1/16 . Thought-provoking organic 3D works on handmade paper, that are an emotional response to our deep-rooted connection to nature, reflecting on its wonder and fragility. Layered with meaning and history, intertwining foraged plants, raw pigments, fibres and microplastic, theses 3D works aren't just inspired by nature, but nature has become an integral part of the work itself-a “trace of place” embedded in every piece. Past and present interplay, allowing us room to contemplate the future state of our planet and the ever-increasing threat from climate change. Commission or Purchase?

Latest Work This latest series of work, Tipping Point is shinning a light on the fragile state of our coastlines with the threat from climate change and human pollution. I have been embedding micro plastics and ink made from carbon emissions into the work as poignant reminder of these sometimes hidden human created threats. Events I am going to be exhibiting five of my latest works alongside other conemporary artists at The Brownston Gallery, Modbury, Devon. The exhibition 'Sacred Earth' focuses on artists that are inspired by nature in their practice and part of the sales will be donated to Surfers Against Sewage and Till the Coast is Clear Please contact me for current pricing

Tidal Trace Series The coast has a very special place in my heart, I regularly visit my local beaches cold water swimming, beach combing and foraging. I spent many holidays as child looking into the glassy waters of rockpools, waiting in anticipation for tiny creatures to emerge from under the canopy of beautifully coloured seaweed and rocks. I am fascinated by the complex nature of these precious little ecosystems and the resilience of the species that call these tidal pools home. Despite their resilience, our rockpools and coast are under threat from rising sea levels and warming waters. Rockpools are sensitive to temperature changes and the acidity of warmer waters can kill shell life, which leaves me with a question, how much change can they take and will they survive it? This series of work represents and symbolises the fragile state of our oceans and a call for us all to think about the delicate balance we currently face, whilst admiring the oceans beauty and wonder. For this series I have been foraging along the coast, finding dead Seaweeds and plants washed up on shore along with a variety of litter and plastics etc. I have crafted my findings into create plates, which I have then printed onto handmade recycled paper These 3D layered collage forms are built on different levels replicating the depth of our beautiful rockpools. The tactile quality of raw pigments, delicate handmade paper, experimental cyanotype, foraged dead plants, collage papers and paper casting are precariously placed into fragile organic forms. These delicate works are an imprint and trace of place, where the past and present interplay; allowing us room to contemplate the future fragile state of our planet and the delicate balance and ever-changing nature of our coast and rockpools.
