Jamboree

Emer Tumilty

Emer Tumilty’s limited edition print (run of 500) features joyful arcs that join up with imaginary cityscapes which are in turn intercepted by charismatic tubular shapes and scalloped edges. Together they combine to create a sense of movement and excitement. Her illustration is printed on to G . F Smith Zen paper using Pantone Neon inks. “The Local Heroes commission was a great opportunity to translate the geometric forms and bold colour combinations from my mural work into print. I wanted the design to feel vibrant, playful and contemporary, to reflect the work of the designers taking part in the exhibition.”
