In my practice I work with photographic and sculptural elements that deals with archaeology, symbolism, and our relationship to place, both personal and historical. I am interested in the ways in which feelings, memory and materiality are expressed and negotiated through the inanimate in different forms and settings. In addition to my solo practice, I collaborate with Italian artist Stefano Conti as the duoEmma & Conti.
