Emma performs the role of hunter-gatherer, collecting together all the ingredients for her compositions. She explains, "My aim is to end up with my gathered ingredients - glimpses of journeys, patterns from familiar settings and objects collected along the way - converging to create an image that communicates the richness of the original source of inspiration." The pictures are then built gradually, layer upon layer and may be heavily edited prior to resolution. Intricately detailed areas are occasionally obliterated; then the essential elements that are to be retained are revealed again by scratching through the covering paint. This painstaking way of working is in fact, vital to the finished quality of the work, as the energy of the painting's surface is generated by residual clues as to what lies beneath.
