Gallery FUMI is delighted to present The Moon’s Daughter is a Pearl - a solo presentation by Emma Witter in our lower ground floor space.
Titled after a poem by Anna Souter, this exhibition marks the London-based artist's first solo presentation at the gallery, with beautiful new works transversing the lines between the celestial and natural; the forgotten and re-discovered. Given new life, Witter’s works are intricately modelled with salvaged oyster shells, bones, objects found at flea markets, and other remnants, and embalmed with precious metals using the delicate, subaqueous process of electro-forming.
With unusual chemical combinations creating tones ranging from blushed raspberry to vibrant gold and deep gunmetal, the works are romantic, alchemical, and richly textural - like tokens from a sunken treasure chest.
A testament to collaboration, these works bring together the skills of farmers, chefs, artisans, and the artist to transform humble materials into a surreal celebration of local agriculture, craft and community.

About
Gallery FUMI
There were fewer specialist galleries, fairs and rather less of an audience for unique and limited edition design works, when Sam Pratt and Valerio Capo decided to open Gallery FUMI in 2008. Both came from non-design backgrounds (banking and marketing respectively) and the only driving factor in their inception of this project was pure and unadulterated passion, not to serve the market, such as it was, but to invest in the people making the work.
