Emma Nilsson holds a Master's degree in ceramic design from Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. In her work she explores an incompatible hybrid of ceramic materials and wire mesh. With an interest in the unforeseeable, and what we experience behind our intellectual mind and senses, she surrender herself to the uncontrolled outcome of the process. Both conceptually and practically, she approaches that which is not created but only can be experienced.
Emma Nilsson born 1985, Norrköping, Sweden.
