About me
Emily Irving is a 3D maker, illustrator and paper artist based in Kent. She has recently graduated from The Arts University Bournemouth with a BA (Hons) Illustration, having completed an FdA in Art and Design there previously.
Emily explores shape and form through her practice and is fascinated by the process of construction. Predominantly using paper and card, her work manifests itself into playful scenes and props which are designed to be interacted with and that often generates a sense of nostalgia. Her work is distinctive by the use of bright, bold colours she uses and the clean cut finish in which her objects are executed. Emily's work has evolved during her time studying, beginning with layered paper cut outs on flat surfaces, which gave her the chance to explore some stop motion animation. Now, her work is predominantly larger three dimensional pieces which feature paper mechanisms and pop up elements.
