Emma Fallon, KULU Textiles

Emma Fallon is a weaver and mixed media artist working with traditional craft techniques and digital processes to create contemporary textiles. The collections range from hand woven and embellished art pieces to jacquard woven cushions and bespoke furniture made in collaboration with Jonathan Pryor.

Emma’s practice is inspired by landscape and the human connection with nature, journeying across the British Isles and documenting the land through photography and drawings to create textiles with narrative. The work encompasses a sense of place and aims to create a meaningful connection between people and cloth through the use of techniques rich in heritage and culture. A victorian technique called shadow tissues has been developed, combining screen printing with hand weaving by printing the warp threads before the cloth is woven. This unique process is the distinct characteristic exhibited in the cloth.

The origin of materials is intrinsic to the meaning and charm of the fabric; Emma works with ethically sourced silks, natural fibres and UK mills to produce luxury textiles, merging antiquity with the modern.
