EMILY BAINES
I work from my psyche, producing 3D objects of an expression; an emotion or thought. Quite often these are representative of mental health issues arising, the idea of ‘darker’ ‘neurodiverse’ ‘untypical’ moments within my brain ignites the need to explore and investigate them. My objects are a method to communicate that snapshot and a tool to investigate what it means. The process filtering in my constantly wavering connection with modern society; editing, over processing and subverting. Materials and subjects are chosen to highlight the tension felt between natural and man-made.
I studied an Art Degree later in life, finishing in the COVID pandemic, I have only recently restarted my practice again through ceramics.
I live in St Leonard on Sea, working locally at Project Artworks and further afield with One and Three Quarters Theatre.
