Emma Bidwell
BA (Hons) Fine Art
Regarding reflection amongst an ever-changing world, I explore the relationship between photography and printmaking, sourcing my material primarily from inherited family photographs. My practice explores the intimacy within relationships, nostalgia and stories belonging to the past; I do not shy away from the sharpest of emotions and being raw and honest. Between the techniques of digital drawing, screen printing and intaglio printmaking, I explore the themes of memory, time and loss within relationships.
My passion for storytelling encourages my work, rich with emotion, provoking memory and exploring the fine line between both personal and relatable imagery. I use mark-making as a language, my identifiable use of curvature represents emotion, expression, location and encourages a sense of wonder.
