ABOUT

Bio -

         Emmy E Smith is an artist of many mediums whose work examines the historical and contemporary implications of craft in the arts and strives to be awake to the current cultural, digital and ecological conditions. With experience as a professional carpenter and a jeweler, her artistic works involve a variety of materials, all considered, and use scale to engage complexities and encourage viewers to look closely. As an educator, Emmy believes that craft can empower us to see through capitalist structures and derrive our own aesthetic conclusions in a pre-built world and strives to share the superpower of craft with people who have historically been excluded from it based on aspects of their racial, physical and gendered identities.   

L'adjectif ~ The adjective
He is troubled by any image of himself, suffers when he is named. He finds the perfection of a human relationship in this vacancy of the image: to abolish—in oneself, between oneself and others—adjectives; a relationship which adjectivizes is on the side of the image, on the side of domination, of death.

pp 43 Roland Barthes by Roland Barthes
