About Emerald Dunne
Emerald Dunne: Artist statement My background is in stained glass and I run my own business, Fire Horse Glass. While living in Japan, I began to explore painting and held three exhibitions of my work. Like many western visitors, I had expected to encounter a blend of the traditional and the innovative. I was keen to capture the colours that I saw there: the bright blue of a metallic mobile phone, the red and gold of a kimono. The work that I started in Japan depicts circles, the default shape of the universe. Electrons revolve around neutrons as stars spin around star systems. Life could also be described as circular - we often come back to the same points time and time again, hopefully with more knowledge and experience, but alas not always. I find Buddhist belief in reincarnation an interesting idea and one which I found particularly inspiring when visiting Koyasan, a major centre of Buddhist practice and belief near Osaka, in Japan. My more recent work focuses on artificial lights and how they represent the presence of human beings. When I was a child, I lived in Scotland in north Berwick, a small seaside town some twenty-five miles from Edinburgh. It was a dormitory town, but also a popular holiday spot because of its interesting beaches and nearby rock islands. One of them, the Bass Rock, was manned island and each night I would sit and wait for the lamp to come on. I was always aware that the lamp out at sea meant another human being was there. And this was same feeling I had whenever I gazed across the sea to Fife on the opposite coast, seeing the yellow and orange lights that obscured homes, streets and cars. I found it very comforting to know that other lives were going on across the water, even if I knew nothing about the people living them. |
I was born in Scotland and came to live in London aged 9. Until the age of 25 I was following a sensible career route, studying French and German at university. But then I did a GCSE in Art and Design and changed direction. I became interested in stained glass when a local character showed me some of his work, but admitted that he hadn't got the patience to train others in this craft. I loved the way that the light made colours and feelings sing, so enrolled on a stained glass course.
A couple of successful commissions persuaded me to start trading as Fire Horse Glass. In the meantime I'd gained a BA (Hons) in Public Art and Design. I've always enjoyed the immediacy of making work for someone's home and seeing it installed, so concentrated my efforts on domestic commissions. I also run the occasional stained glass and mosaic workshops. Projects completed include a coloured glass window at a Christian/Muslim community group and a mosaic in a primary school. In the near future I'd like to carry on with my glass art and painting, bringing together elements of both into more cohesive artworks.
