Text from object entry in A. Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: Emmeline Hastings studied Three-Dimensional Design at the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham, establishing her own studio in 2009. She works with Perspex, cut and carved as organic forms inlaid with metal elements to create contemporary wearable objects. Nicholas and Judith Goodison came across her work at the Goldsmiths’ Fair in 2013 and commissioned a special collection of four pieces for The Fitzwilliam Museum in response to the artist’s orginal and striking use of different materials. This commission was her first work to be added to a museum’s permanent collection.
