AA2A Resident Artist

Emma Plover

Schemes:

I am a visual artist and writer living and working near Shrewsbury. My creative practice explores my relationship to the spaces and landscapes I call home. I'm interested in the ways I share these spaces with those around me, especially those who aren’t often seen. By giving a voice to Queer experience, I seek to explore how this, and my ADHD, influences my practice as an artist and my experience of the world. My work is inspired by the natural world and ancient stories connected to the land and the plants and animals that reside there.

In 2022, I had a lot of interest in my work and was able to exhibit in the West Midlands, Manchester and London. I want to build on this momentum and develop my practice to a point where I am confident to hold my first solo exhibition. I have worked hard to create a supportive network around me and as a result my creative practice is flourishing; so, this placement presents the perfect opportunity for me at this stage in my career to really progress. I am excited by the prospect of expanding the field of collage by combining new processes and incorporating three dimensions into the work and will value time spent connecting with early career and established creatives to gain critical feedback on my progress.
