“A friend/ painter at the RCA Amy said, 'we coexist, Thats what my brain saw'. I thought that was such a sweet thing to say.”

 

“The constant thread that runs through my studio is a maker’s spirit. This constant evolution of reactive gestural mark making through different materials and mediums.”

    What few words would you use to descrive your work EMILY?
     
    Wildness,rough terrain, rebellious
     
    DESCRIBE YOUR USE OF THE WORLD WILDNESS?
     
    For me the term ‘wildness’ in contemporary painting speaks both to my approach within my practice but suggests the state of contemporary painting through the lens of art history and its current context within the immediate conversations surrounding painting.  
     
    EMILY, WHAT IS YOUR ARTIST STORY SO FAR?
     
    I always knew I wanted to be an artist. It took me a little while to find my footing but once my son turned 7 I went for it and I have never looked back since.
     
    I am Just about to Graduate from My Masters from the Royal College of Art - This year 2020 has confirmed that this is what i was meant to do.
     
    What is your studio like?
     
    My studio is uncertain, its is like navigating rough terrain, its playful which I love
    The covid has made me realise i create work anywhere.
     
    What do you listen to whilst you work?
     
    If I am starting something new I work in silence. - once I get in to the rhythm I listen to everything
