KEY TAKEAWAYS

Art school and early career struggles masked Emma's authentic voice, which she only then discovered after experiencing profound personal loss.

Witnessing her partner's death inspired Emma to explore consciousness and shared human experiences in her work.
Navigating institutional collaborations and budget negotiations became crucial skills in creating Emma's ambitious projects.
Managing multiple international exhibitions requires Emma to focus on the interconnectedness of her work and adopt a methodical approach.
Embracing her true artistic identity and interests liberated Emma's creativity, making her work more enjoyable and authentic.

BEST MOMENTS

"Drawing is, can be, a kind of avoidance, it's like a space you can go into, where it's like everything else disappears, and you, you get to invent what you want."

"All we have is this period of time of consciousness and all we do is share the experience with one another."

"I don't feel uncertain about my work at all. Because I know what it's doing is just doing what it's doing."

"Finding joy is a choice. It sounds so corny to say it out loud, but it is, it is, and you can, and I find that I'm able to do that."

"Each person tailors the work to themselves. You know, the work has to be something that suits you."

"I think for me a big part of understanding my work was just accepting who I am."

"Emma's story is a powerful reminder that creativity is not only a tool for self expression, but also a way to process profound personal experiences

"Art is not just about what you make, but about the connections you foster with those who experience it."
