Emma Witter | Metal Magazine

Currently working in the residence of the late Alexander McQueen’s Sarabande Foundation, artist Emma Witter shares aspects of her work with the British fashion designer: the theatricality, the darkness, the romanticism, and the love for memento mori.

From September 18 to 22, her work is to be exhibited at Remember You Must Die, a solo show at the foundation in London. Today, we speak with her about material experimentation, the morals of using bones, and where is the limit between the macabre and the artistic.
