New Blood Art Statement
Emma Williams creates visceral cartographies that inspire us to question the objective and remind us not to take anything for granted. Her work strives to make charged and feeling connections with what might unthinkingly be considered flat, inert or alien to human touch and vision. Williams’ work shows the transformative power of a sensitive subjective perspective.

Artist Statement
My work continues to be a morphing of real locations, with constructed and imagined worlds. Combining traditions of landscape painting and cartography, new and contorted views emerge where the viewer is simultaneously above and within.The work signifies my experience and understanding of a place through their references to maps, though the mapping element is distorted to create a sense of place that is now strange and unfamiliar.
It is with this fascination of the complexity and resonance of a place, combined with the sense of the physicality of both viewing a landscape and the landscape being part of oneself that continues to inform my current practice and leads me to question the relationship between my location and myself as a painter.
