ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This piece is a portrait of sorts. It’s been made in response to the model’s resilience to her own life experiences – cancer, divorce, homelessness, menopause, surgery and death. I have used the actual sutures from her hysterectomy operation. The piece is a cyanotype printed on silk and then stretched on a rusty metal rim, like a drum. The expression on her face, when facing all that, was so strong that I decided I had to create something to acknowledge her hope.

Emma Plunkett is a contemporary artist known for her unique and expressive style. Her art often combines vibrant colours, organic shapes and intricate details to create captivating and original compositions. From 1995 – 2020, Emma worked intensively as a VJ (video projection artist) under the name Miss Plunkett. Emma is of 100% Irish decent, born and educated in London. She has a degree in Fine Art from the University of East London. Throughout the 1990's and early 2000's, Emma exhibited her art and live video mixing in London. In 2002, after short creative stints in Barcelona, Ibiza and then Amsterdam, Emma continued her journey south to the province of Granada, in the south of Spain. She continued to video project and exhibit on the Costa Tropical, Granada and in the local community of Órgiva. She also ventured to show her work in Málaga and on the Costa del Sol. Emma moved to Barcelona in 2020, where she now lives and works – concentrating on stoneware sculpture, video and oil painting. Emma has a life-long unwavering devotion to art. The underlying sentiment in Emma's artwork is about the female experience from a woman's perspective. Her work is ever evolving as she experiments and explores ways to portray the female nude in a manner which is both genuine and empowering.
