The British artist Emma Witter utilises intricate bone structures to create fragile, flower-patterned forms. To her, this organic material conveys beauty and spirituality rather than mortality. These opposing facets inspire Witter to bring to the surface the relics of domestic animals. She acts as a bone collector who salvages her medium from restaurants, butchers and her own cooking waste along with combing the river Thames.
Witter’s opaque miniatures are made of countless carefully selected bone fragments orchestrated into delicate arrangement. They are attached onto small stands, displayed in glass vessels or directly on the wall to appear like beautiful sculptures, surreal botanical models and modern-day memento mori.
