Charity Shop Orphans project is about transforming undesired, usually sentimental, ornament into a personally acceptable form. Re-loving forgotten items from the past, it draws from family and belonging.

Excerpt from an interview with Amity Roach:
"Emma Harding's pieces morph from twee ceramic figurines to contemporary and quirky objets d'art in a most delightful manner. What makes Emma's creations extra special is the charming sense of depth she brings to each creature. Not only do they retain a sense of history, their sentimental forms cloaked in new apparel, but their newly adopted lineages really bring them to life."
