Emily Joy- Sit Place...

Emily Joy is an award winning artist that creates sculptural and installation pieces that are influenced by childhood memories. Joy presents nostalgic spaces through symbolic objects that signify a certain subjective interaction with the memory of a significant person or place. In some cases Joy overlays her installation pieces with a projection which builds on a visual palimpsest and restructures the narrative of each object.

Some of her work focuses on loss, memory and the trace of absence. Her contemporary work explores Derrida’s theory of trace, removal and the uncertainty of visual signifiers as symbols of memory.
