3rd Rail Print Space Kickstarter Q&A Series: Daisy Emerson

It did come quite organically for me but one of the main elements is the colour palette I work with, lots of pastel shades with gold and silvers and of course always lots of pink! I’m trying to work with more colours at the moment, including introducing darker colours to contrast with the pastel shades I usually gravitate towards.

I’ve been doing a few pieces onto marble at the moment which has been fun and I am currently working on lots of hand made signs which I have been making and preparing myself. I like to think I am developing each time I do a new piece, it’s good to develop a style and not necessarily stick to it all of the time.

Wow there’s been lots of exciting projects it would be hard to pick one favourite, I was able to travel a lot last year with my work which was a great experience, particularly in the U.S. I was also asked by Adidas to create an animation of my sign painting which was really fun to do and I guess the private commissions are always really nice as they’re usually more personal. It’s really satisfying when someone asks you to create a piece of work inspired by a piece of personal work they have seen on your Instagram page.

My sign writing paint brushes, my MacBook Pro and my iPhone of course!!

I just want to continue with lots more painting, creating more work and developing my style. Hopefully any other projects which come my way and are right for me, will just be a bonus! I’m looking forward to producing more screen prints in 2018.
