Objects You Deserved Better, Emma Witter

Beauty to the bone. London-based artist Emma Witter has carved out a distinctive aesthetic, using intricate bone structures to create fragile and flower-patterned forms. In her work, the material takes on a spiritual rather than a macabre significance, representing the endurance and beauty of nature. ‘It’s interesting because the bones are dead, but in a way they’re still alive,’ says Witter. From salvaging bone remains from restaurant planes to the Thames riverbed, the result is a delicate and contemplative body of work – one that reminds us how all art is, in some form, a relic of human nature.
