NEW BLOOD ART EMERGING ART PRIZE NOMINEE
Emma McElreavey is a recent Fine Art graduate from UCLAN who specialises in graphite drawings and storytelling. Her work explores the narratives behind the lesser noticed details in life, such as tiny cracks in the wall and unexplained noises one hears but often quickly dismisses. McElreavey uses horror to reframe the narrative of our reality. As well as this she also uses character development and narration as a primary medium to engage the viewer.
Her artwork resembles a visualisation of a horror novel, with the text weaving its way into the readers minds as they scan its surface. In this way McElreavey also states that the audiences’ imaginations become another of her mediums as no one person will interpret or visualise the same story identically. The horror builds its own structure in their minds and gives every viewer a different experience each time.
David Mackintosh, Senior Lecturer at University of Central Lancashire:
'Emma’s original and innovative contribution to Fine art incorporates an experimental approach to creative writing via installation, and stream of consciousness narrative fiction development.'
