Emma Denby

MA Fine Art

“In time, we discovered that only certain frequencies could be perceived. This was confirmed when using instruments that could detect what we could not. Their communication is above what our medium will allow, but some frequencies do penetrate through to our comprehension.

It appears to listen, although, this speculation could be derived from what we know of our own mode of communication, rather than this being’s…

…

Is it really a being? Is it listening? Why are the oscillations drifting into closer frequencies?

I don’t trust my perception any more.”

Large scale blobby sculpture by Emma Denby made with textiles.

Emma’s practice draws inspiration from a fantasy narrative that she continues to evolve. The ‘Foramen’ are the subject of this world, and provide a visual language for her art installations, paintings and sculpture.

Interested in how audiences can autonomously engage with artworks, she uses sound, creative technology and large-scale structures to encourage play and interaction with her works.
