During her travels in Japan last year Emma Carlow visited an exhibition of work by a young woman called Tamaki Iwao. Before that time the artists had only connected on Instagram.
Iwao’s work immediately resonated with Carlow. Her infectious joy and enchantment with the world was clear to see. Carlow encouraged Iwao to visit the UK after studying textiles in Denmark and participating in a residency in Iceland. Jamboree is a pop up exhibition showing Iwao’s work that she made in Denmark alongside Carlow’s work that is the result of her recent exploration into using waste plastic as part of her ceramics practise.
