Views From The Boundary Layer
Emma Yorke Solo Show
​
15th June- 14th July 2021​​
‘Living within the boundary layer prolongs the window of opportunity for growth.’
Robin Wall Kimmerer
​
This body of work has grown out of many years of walking, wild swimming, collecting and paying close attention. Often revisiting the same sites over many years, and drawing on scientific data, memory, embodied experiences and the writings of others, Emma offers her own views of the places she holds dear. Working with photography, painting, cyanotype, stitch and repurposed materials, each piece intertwines multiple stories learned through head, heart and hand. Presented here in digital form, these pieces have been re-imagined for the digital space, offering something connected to, but materially different from, the original work.
​
The physical work is viewable at the Gardens Gallery in Cheltenham (11-13th July) or by
appointment with the artist.

Mafalda Figueiredo
01/03/21-14/03/21
Within the process of making a piece, Mafalda applies pressure to the layers of paint to retain various textures that are then highlighted within the materials. As her works progress, scale begins to take place in her practice, allowing the audience to have a larger view of her works, almost as if they have enlarged the works themselves to focus on certain aspects of the pieces. Inspired by rhythm, Mafalda also takes inspiration from action painting. Using her body to create a piece, Mafalda skilfully, moves her feet allowing the inks to move along with her, creating forms of composition, making it possible for the audience to view the works with no restrictions as to what it is, or meant to be, leaving it to the audience to connect and understand the works. In addition she also takes lighting and space into consideration for each piece. With light being an important component, she explores a non-traditional way of printmaking, allowing the audience to enter a space of stillness.
The process of the work is as much a focus of my practice as the final outcome. It involves movement and flexibility and overall, it is a performance piece in itself. Using wet mediums, mainly diluted acrylic paints and inks, I have been able to create a unique method of printmaking. By applying pressure to the layers, often as a whole of body experience, the chosen material retains textures that are then highlighted within the works. Additional materials such as sand, linseed oil and glazes are used to create intensity and explore different finishes.
