Emily’s ceramic practice transforms vessels thrown on the potter's wheel into biomorphic sculptural forms that explore body perception, identity and sexuality. While rooted in the traditions of the pottery craft, Emily plays and experiments with vessels to create abstract body representation. Inspiration comes from her work in female empowerment, studies into prehistoric sculpture and her personal journey of body discovery.

Emily is interested in the ancient connection between clay and the human form, from the earliest sculpture to the anthropomorphic qualities of the ceramic vessel. Her background in Social Anthropology and pre-Columbian art has inspired her fascination with this medium. Emily is interested in stretching the possibilities of clay as a material and the freedom and energy in altering and building with the traditionally symmetrical forms of the craft. Working intuitively is an important part of Emily’s practice - her pieces are constructed through play and experimentation.

Emily is a Collect Open 2024 exhibitor and recipient of Arts Council DYCP funding. She is Founder and Director of Windmill Clay artist-led ceramics studio in Bristol which provides teaching and residencies.
