Meet the artist

Emily Narece

Artist

I create spaces of repose and tranquility through the use of transient qualities and minimal materials. Inspired by traditional Japanese interior aesthetics, I pair the natural materials of paper and wood with intangible elements of time and light to create a harmonious collection of artworks. My work centres around labour intensive methods, spending time with the materials to create precise, refined works which audiences can calmly spend time with and walk around.

 

I am currently a third year student, studying at the University of Derby. My work has developed over the years, showcasing these outcomes within shows I have been part of during my time in Derby
