Altered States, 2013

Altered States, 2013

details about this work


Emma Johnson is based in Kesgrave, Eastern


Exploring the fragmented, multifaceted nature of memory, time and history, Emma reconstructs maps by cutting paths and layers to transform the originals into complex new objects. As functional items rendered virtually unreadable, they suggest symbolic journeys (both geographical and artistic) and an almost obsessive attempt to communicate and pin down the streams of information and thought that characterise our lives.
