Emily Jackson, the British artist who paints under the moniker Wolffia Inc., is known for her bright, bold, and busy style; her paintings are dense compositions of abstract shapes and zany doodles in vibrant hues. Individually, the forms are simple, even childlike. But by arranging them en mass, and instinctively layering acrylics and oils, she creates a variance of textures both gloss and matte, flat and raised, that adds spontaneity to each composition. When she reached out to Pierre Frey about a collaboration, the French brand took the opportunity to commission a new work that would be translated into both wallpaper and fabric. Named Emily, part of the Carnet de Voyage line, the wallpaper interprets the painting at its original scale with a glossy finish, while the linen fabric is exuberantly hand-embroidered with wool stitching at different thicknesses. They’re works of art in their own right.
