Created with architects, interior designers and design-led spaces in mind, The Shape of a Feeling sits between artwork, sculpture and architectural intervention. Its flowing form is designed to work with the visual rhythm of an interior rather than simply occupy a wall, while the work can also be adapted for gardens, terraces and other exterior settings.

The new collection represents a shift towards a quieter and more emotive visual language. Earlier works often featured stronger graphic contrasts and exuberant forms; here, Edwards uses subtle variations in colour, texture and light to create compositions that feel instinctive and gestural.

“I’m interested in the moment when something spontaneous becomes permanent,” says Edwards. “The starting point might be a line drawn instinctively on a screen, but the final work is built piece by piece by hand. That contrast between immediacy and painstaking construction is central to the work.”

Edwards begins each composition digitally, using an iPad and MacBook and drawing on more than 20 years’ experience in graphic design, advertising, branding and creative direction. The finished image is then translated by hand into mosaic using techniques rooted in centuries of craftsmanship.

Inspired particularly by Byzantine and Roman mosaic, Edwards does not seek to reproduce historic styles. Instead, she applies their principles to a contemporary visual language. Each tessera is individually positioned, with slight changes in angle, colour and spacing allowing the surface to respond differently to light.

The result deliberately challenges the perfection of the digital image. There is no uniform “pixel”: every component retains evidence of the hand that placed it.

The Shape of a Feeling develops themes explored in Edwards’ recent exhibitions and collaborations, including The Other Art Fair, work with LF Markey, a group exhibition with Jealous London, Shoreditch Design Triangle, and her 2025 solo exhibition Brushstrokes at Jaguar Shoes, London. Her work has also been selected for design-led interior settings including the Coppermaker Square show homes and Crafted at Powdermills.

For architects and designers, Edwards’ works can be commissioned in different scales, palettes and forms to respond to individual interiors and architectural schemes. Works can also be prepared for exterior installation.

At its heart, The Shape of a Feeling explores a simple contradiction: taking something intangible and spontaneous — a gesture, sensation or movement — and giving it physical permanence through glass, stone, colour and the human hand.
