Emma is an artist printmaker living and working in Manchester. Following completion of undergraduate studies with a BA in design from Blackpool, Emma worked in creative industries for almost 20 years. Returning to post graduate studies in 2017, Emma gained an MA in illustration from Manchester School of Art in 2019. Since completing postgraduate studies Emma has exhibited in group shows across the UK, including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2024. Born of a passion for theatre, the experience of an audience when viewing performance arts inspires Emma’s practice research, with a focus on dramatisation of the mundane. Emma seeks to explore how, although the body of the viewer may be in one place, the mind is transported to another by the image - one personal to the individual and influenced by their own life experience and memories. Absence, loss and memory are core themes during investigations into the elevation of the everyday into the theatrical. Research is a network of interconnected threads, combining practice-led enquiry, reading and observation, and experimental image making. Leaning into printmaking techniques contributes a level of tension that Emma finds vital to her process. Concerned with the physical and metaphysical ‘weight’ of accumulation, Emma questions the materiality of memory, with landscape playing an important role in the visual language. Often responding to personal archives, loaded objects serve as a physical manifestation of a moment in time – an extension of the ‘self’ now departed.
