Folk/ Ritual/ Humor/ Occult/ Costume/ Practical/ Absurd/ Materiality/ Uncanny/ Magic

A multidisciplinary artist and designer. Her work draws on folk culture, archival collections, vehicular maintenance and  the occult. Her intuitive working practice holds ritual, and the language of materially at its core, calling the old ways into the contemporary to create incongruous and comic tableaus.

Environment/ Radical /Body/ Empathy/ Elemental/ Sensuality/ Integrate/ Ground/ Energetic/ Portal

A multi-disciplinary fine artist, mostly specialising in earth/body works. Using photography and video to document their performative interactions with the landscape, they intend to transcend Western perceptions of nature and integrate the self authentically with the environment and Earth. Their work is rooted in ideologies of ancient cultures, queer ecology and eco-feminism.

Sustainability/ Recycling/ Colour/ Print/ Sculpture/ Wood/ Illustration/ Abstraction/ Paint/ Fun/ Interaction

A contemporary artist and maker who creates vibrant, playful, multi-part pieces articulating an internal language and creating a dialogue between themselves and their external environment. Within their work natural canvases of wood are juxtaposed with imagery formed by abstracted mark making, colour, pattern, graphics, anatomical or mechanical illustration. 

EMMA HOUSLEY

Wild/ Swimming/ Abstract Landscape/ Sense of Place/ Contemporary/ Abstract

A painter whose work reflects a deep rooted romanticism and sense of nostalgia. Although abstract, many of her works refer to well loved places, drawn from memory, in a flurry of mark making and rich colour. Many of her works contain almost figurative elements that refer to the body and reflect an interest in how we perceive and experience sensation. Studying an MA at Bath Spa University this year, Emma intends to continue to explore the complexity of what it is to be human with all its joys and losses. And how to create work that is emotionally honest and vivid.
