Statement Emma Stephens

I am a printmaker and designer! Online I go by the name Spoons and Violets.

I specialize in a technique called the Whiteline Color Woodcut, an American printmaking technique that uses watercolor to create multi-color prints with only a single block.

I often create work with my lovely partner Theo!

Much of my work focuses on our connection to the spaces we inhabit. My images are often accompanied by the written word and are journalistic in nature. I believe that places and objects have the capacity for memory and I strive to capture that snippet of a story they hold, real or fictional. I love to document the mundane things that make up my life, the things that will blur away if you don’t hold on tight.
