News:
Parsons School of Design: Integrated Design Program
"Anna Emberson’s Senior thesis project “909 Glenhaven Drive” honors the spirit of her grandparent’s house, which was destroyed in the Pacific Palisades fire last January. Although we are unable to return to the places we once inhabited, they remain a part of us. The duality of loss, which divides life into “before” and “after,” is explored through a synthesis of materials that survived yet were altered by the fire with recreated heirlooms that have been abstracted due to memory reconsolidation."
Sustainable Baddie of the Week: Anna Emberson of Flower Power
"Your childhood bedroom. The playground at your first school. Your grandparents’ house. The city you chose to move to when you could finally make your own decisions. The destination you dream of, but have never seen for yourself. The influence of our environments, the ones in our physical reality, in our memories, and in our fantasies, is profound. Los Angeles-born, Louisville, Kentucky-raised, and freshly-minted New Yorker Anna Emberson is constantly inspired by the many definitions of place. Her relationships with her homes, both past and present, weave their way through her work as a young upcycling and vintage designer and define her brand, Flower Power."
Manual Mural History Seek & Find
"Passing through Center Hall is nearly unavoidable on our daily treks from class to class. But rarely on these brief passes, weighed down by backpacks and to-do lists, do we stop to appreciate the art around us. One of the most prominent of these pieces is the mural on the first floor, near the main office. The mural was painted by 2022 VA graduate Anna Emberson, a student at Parsons School of Design in New York City."
