Individual Residencies
2019 | Emma Brown
Emma Brown is an artist and printmaker based in Bristol, England. Her work explores history, tradition, collection and place through a focus on narrative and its interpretation through visual form. Her visual language is moving beyond representational illustration to incorporate abstracted impressions of objects and figures alongside automatic drawings responding to experience and emotion. Emma’s working processes are driven by her illustrative skill-set that combines drawing, painting, collage and traditional print techniques.
“I have been working to develop a stronger link between my feelings and experiences and my creative output … establishing and nurturing relationships with others in order to gain insight and support and move away from solitary working. This residency, in a village community, will provide the opportunity to meet new people and share information and experiences. I want to gain an understanding of how people cope with life; either the monotony or routine of the everyday or significant changes that can be transformative and impactful.”
