Welcome Emma Yorke

Emma has a predominantly place-based practice, and works with notions of memory and

narrative, informed by an awareness of climate collapse and considerations of care and

repair.

A recent experience of illness highlighted silence and darkness as conditions for rest and

recovery, calling Emma to Svalbard to experience the end of the polar night and spend time

thinking about bodily and planetary damage and recovery in this extreme and fragile

environment.

Emma is spending her residency finding her way between abstraction and narrative in her

painting.
