EMMA SIMPSON

[email protected]• @redsoxandhorses

Attracted to the overt power of advertising, sports, and pop culture, Emma Simpson subverts the conventions and symbology of these subjects to illustrate more intimate notions of romance, introspection, and ephemera. Through this sentimental appropriation of recognizable objects and figures, what is public becomes personal. Working with a combination of drawing, painting, screenprinting, installation, and photographic processes, she explores relationships that emerge between pairings of visuals as a result of chronic digital image inundation. She is particularly interested in the tension that can be felt intuitively, but not necessarily understood intellectually, amidst these arrangements.
