Hello there. I’m Emily, welcome to my world. I am a visual artist living in the county of Somerset, England in the United Kingdom. I love science fiction, reading non-fiction, I am currently learning to play the guitar and read music, after not doing so for 15 years. My obsessions are thinking, experimenting, making, and looking at visual art, learning about physics and the visual arts, each field of knowledge and their philosophies. My aim is to create participatory experiential spaces and sensory forms for all ages and abilities. Although we all experience the world uniquely, shared experiences in visual arts transcend time and language. This is where I believe experiential art installations and objects become more accessible, while other forms of communication have limitations that do not reflect the rapid transformation of our globalised society. Beyond verbal communication, written or spoken, our inner and outer senses; sight, touch, taste, smell, sound and spatial awareness (proprioception, vestibular) create our sensory perceptions that allow the viewer to step into the unknown so human intuition and curiosity can thrive. These experiences allow participants to see the everyday differently, removing limitations, providing a multi-faceted perception. I want to connect people to philosophies of visual arts, and theoretical physics, my aim is to make experiential spaces and objects that allow people to see an expanded perspective of their reality. I believe such spaces allow people to see beyond their current understanding, connecting them to diversity in nature, and humanity. Through exploration and experimentation, I wish to emphasise my visual language to provoke thought, through spatial transition, to guide these ambitions to build connections between people and nature. I believe acknowledgement of human interconnectedness is missing in most contemporary societies. Creating objects from subjective concepts and theories (for example, thoughts from the artist or physicist) can make these visible and therefore more understandable. These objects translate and interpret into visual sensory experiences, simplifying their complexity, like scientific diagrams that communicate complex ideas visually making them easier to interpret – these influence me to create minimalist linear structural objects. I began my journey as an artist from 2017 to 2022 utilising acrylic paint for its ability to create sculptural impasto effects. My focus was then on patterns found in naturally occurring spaces, spaces that I walked and observed which bought me harmony and tranquillity whenever my mind was challenging me, with repetitive negative thoughts. In 2022, I realised there were environmental problems in production, use and disposal of the medium, and after researching microplastics and how they have spread throughout the natural world, including our bodies I decided to explore and experiment to create more experiential work. My environmental anxieties are at essence of my practice, as I am an autistic individual who continuously worries about the future of humanity, as a mother these fears are emphasised. So, my work also supports my wellbeing, making by hand, whilst using repetition (stimming) provides self-regulation, and allows me to visually communicate. I often struggle with other forms of communication, and process information slower than most people. I have created participatory works in interactive spaces over the last few years, for a collaborative local library exhibition, and three installations developing my practice to engage audiences. This summer, I have also begun to develop a community weaving installation, visualising connections between participants of my hometown, this idea will become apart of an arts festival weekend in March 2026. This is a part of the refresh of my neglected hometown, its aim to build a positive connection between people, bringing the town together through creativity with a long-term focus on attracting visitors from the surrounding area, to boost the towns economy, and build deeper community connections. I am currently, extensively researching and creating works interpreting theoretical and particle physics focused on the structural components of nature, creating objects and spaces that represent the unseen minimalist structures interpreting a decomposition of nature. I am also studying to complete a Master of Fine Arts degree part time to strengthen my development. Development of my work 2022 – 2025 I am developing my practice to explore the ways humanity attempts to understand so to connect with nature, beyond our sensory limitations is a quantum, the unseen minimalist microcosmic structural depths of nature. I have been making deconstructive analysis focused interpretations, playing with materiality to distort sensory experiences and shift perceptions what we see. How do our experiences, senses and perception change our perspectives of reality? After years of experimentation and developmental, I began to look beyond the nature of reality I could observe, like many artists before me. I wondered if people would find this a constructive form of escapism, could I share this through my work? Would learning about the world beyond the limitations of our human senses calm the anxieties of contemporary life, enabling us to perceive things differently? I believe exploration of philosophical questions are something contemporary society could find value in, opening thought to many alternative ways to tackle our personal problems. Many artists of all disciplines share unique and insightful ways of seeing things beyond our limitations, and current technologies. Many physicists do too, attempting to understand nature, also seeing beyond human perceptions, utilising abstract languages of mathematical mechanics to envision the unobservable. Astrophysicists seek to understand the macrocosm realm, reality of our universe, beyond humanities environments. Particle and theoretical physicists seek to understand what we cannot see or observe in any significant detail without aid of innovation, the microcosm, the quantum realm. Quantum theories about how nature works, and its structural layers have been a strong influence on my works. These atomic and subatomic not only to explain the natural world, but to help us understand that we ourselves are a small, but significant parts of an interconnected system we call nature. They often touch on the same philosophical questions many of us face, especially when the world feels as though it is collapsing both metaphorically and literally. This way of thinking, it does not remove us from reality, it helps us see beyond it, offering new ways of looking at problems, so to imagine solutions as individuals, and as a collective, a global community. These ways of seeing the world can also deepen our sense of connection with the vast entirety of nature, and its many layers of reality. Showing how beautifully strange our universe really is. I am inspired by physicists who explore philosophical thinking with their work, enhancing our understanding of nature and our human connection to it. From early figures such as Einstein, Niels Bohr, Heisenberg and Pauli to contemporary voices including Neil deGrasse Tyson, Carlo Rovelli and Brian Cox. In my practice, I connect these ideas to visual art, drawing on the influence of conceptual and post minimalist movements and artists such as Phyllida Barlow, Cornelia Parker, Olafur Eliasson, Ai Weiwei, Yoko Ono, Yayoi Kusama, Sarah Lucas and Tracey Emin. These artists invite audiences to experience their work through installation, sculpture and the transformation of familiar objects, encouraging different ways of seeing the world and connecting with it from new perspectives.
