Emma Aronsen
Emma creates wonderful work, if not a little scary. There is a strong sense of irony in her work. She used to enjoy painting abstract work but has recently taken up more sculptural work. These are based on toy dolls that she finds or buys from second hand stores. She dismantles and dismembers the dolls and then reassembles them from different dolls to create strange and menacing creatures. Then they are pierced, tattooed and painted using either black or white paint. They are part punk/gothic, part “day of the dead”. She is now working on mythical fairy art. She has had success selling her work.
