Emma has always been inspired by nature, especially the dynamic movements of hares and rabbits. Her ceramic rabbit was exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum and won the Contemporary prize 1996. She has continued to regularly feature hares in her work and her understanding of the shape of animals and how they move comes from her close observations. Emma has kept rabbits and even fostered a hare alongside a sheep and a fox.
