About The Artwork
I made this round silver glazed, stoneware wall plaque, after reading a hard-hitting, yet darkly humorous book called Women Talking by Miriam Toews. The author is known for having a light touch with the toughest of subjects. The book is based on a true story about a Mennonite colony in Bolivia, an extremist closed community of people who are deeply religious and shun modern-day life. This is a spiritual sculpture – fluid, and feminine, a matriarch to watch over and protect you. The figure at the top is like an angel but she also strongly reminds me of one of the female characters in the book. One with unwavering faith, even in the face of the worst things imaginable happening to the ones you love. The other shapes in the plaque are fluid and decorative.

Emma is a London born and educated artist, digital video maker and designer – her artwork straddles stoneware sculpture, cyanotype printing, painting (watercolour, oil and acrylic), illustration, photography, fabric art, animation and vector design. Emma's art is highly personal, her subjects include her friends (animal as well as human), places she’s visited, experiences and things that capture her imagination. Her artwork is uncontrived and free from trying to be anything other than what it is. "At the core of Emma Plunkett's work is the female. Not feminine or politicised. Whether it be a disappearing view of trees into the Spanish horizon, a slithering viscous ceramic or a candid nude. It is always individual and genuine. This we must celebrate”. Gareth Lister - Artist & Curator
