EMILY SWIFT-JONES
Urban Wetlands
Texture and Paint with a glint of gold or silver leaf conspire to weave an imposing visual narrative.
This was the first of it's kind and only 45 cm w x 30cm H. The following commission was 300cm W x 210cm H!
Unfortunately the original painting purchased for this project was too large to navigate into the apartment so the designer had it printed at high resolution onto three panels and reassembled in situ. The owner has both a one off print AND the original piece to enjoy. Many thanks to Stan Katz and photographer Simon Eldon https://www.simoneldon.co.uk/

I remember being asked "How will you make sure they are all the same?" and I realised very quickly that the point is that they are all unique and change according to so many variables

This is the 2nd piece Sarah Mailer commissioned for this comfortable and glamerous residential project
