Emily Utzinger explores the power of storytelling through photography, painting, and digital illustration. Her abstract and experimental practice draws inspiration from personal experiences and broader cultural narratives, delving into the emotional and psychological landscapes that shape human connection. Influenced by her experience working night shifts, she incorporates blacklight and luminescent materials to explore how shifts between light and dark alter perception, time, and sensory awareness. With a deep interest in the intersection of art, perception, and memory, her work seeks to evoke sensory and cognitive responses, sparking meaningful dialogue between the artwork and its audience.
