Emma Gale celebrates a huge love for colour, shape and
texture. Her work is layers and layers of paint, mark makings of good and bad
mistakes are all part of the the visual landscape of her canvas. Her subjects
are everyday people doing everyday things and she takes inspiration from other
cultures and their daily rituals and routines.
Between 1991-1993 Emma lived in Cairo, Egypt where she established
the Tukul Craft Workshop in Cairo. A non-profit organization set up to train
Sudanese refugees the techniques and skills in textile screen printing and
design. Traditional African designs and patterns were created and a range of
products including bags, belts, cushions and t shirts were made.
