Emma Lawrence


Emma’s artwork stems from her fascination with producing work under certain limitations or through various methods involving chance. Interested in how the subconscious can affect and enhance artistic creation, her explorative methods have allowed her works to progressively become far more open and expressive. By internalizing the idea of chance in her work, she gives way for the tangible possibilities that randomness brings forth. Her work looks at the use of colour and mixed media in portraiture. Focusing mainly on the use of line and the subsequent translation of pen onto paper, she studies the transitional matter around her as well as the expressive lines in blind portrait drawings. Creating images that team together both of these aspects allows her to create images that are both intricate and ethereal. The overall outcome of a piece is never her main concern, but rather she values the process taken to get there.
