Emily Diamond
The Gloaming
Emily enjoys exploring ideas around nature connection, so a language between the natural world and humanity is clear within her tactile work. Whether that’s through re-creating a moment in nature or to encourage activation of the senses. She spends a lot of time engaging with British trees and landscapes, inquiring into the interconnected relationships within natural ecosystems above and below ground. Her sculpture often aims to celebrate the beauty of nature, specifically using the process of rubber casting of real trees, a technique she has developed over the past eight years. She also enjoys working with metal, creating frameworks for her light sculptures or smaller-scale figurative assemblages which has lead to a fascination for automata and kinetics to further animate them. Emily creates work where feeling and the experiential initiative can inspire the viewer to reflect on their environment and their place within it.
Over the past ten years she has taken part in and organised shared exhibitions, been involved in creative communities such as Rockaway Park and Hatch, and collaborated with different artists showing work across the UK. She regularly collaborates with fellow exhibitor Sam Copsey, as she has with this piece which is part of ‘the Gloaming Glade’.
‘The Gloaming’ (one of a group from the installation called ‘The Gloaming Glade’) is available to hire for events.
