Class of 2020: Emma Boiston
BA (Hons), Fine Art: Painting and Printmaking, Glasgow School of Art.
Speaking about her work, Emma Boiston says: “A patchwork of thoughts, smells, textures; layers of a past that looms on my mind, stitched together as a way of treasuring time.
“Fabric is dyed with vegetables, fruits and stains as a form of rebuilding the memory of the garden’s of my childhood; whilst stitching, knitting and embroidering establishes a closeness to domesticity and the women of my family.”
Degree Show: Glasgow School of Art’s online showcase of work by this year’s graduating artists launches Friday 29 May www.gsa.ac.uk/life/gsa-events/events/g/graduate-showcase-2020/
Details of accompanying physical Graduate Showcases, due to take place over 2020/21, are to be announced.
