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 am currently focusing my practice on ceramic work. I have worked in video, print, photography, wood, bronze, textiles and metalwork.
I live and work in St Leonards, East Sussex. it is where I found my home, my love and identified my queerness.
My recent work has been exploring the female organ; as an investigation of society's limitations on gender and to protest the disregard from the British healthcare system.
