Emily Moores is a visual artist whose hand-cut and ornately layered works range from intimate wall pieces to large-scale installations that invite the playful engagement of the body as essential to understanding and experiencing space.
Speaking of her work, Moores says that she transforms a physical space or surface of a paper into a whimsical environment using colorful patterns, textures, and ornamentation. The inspiration for intricate patterns and design elements comes from everyday objects, like wallpaper, decorative china, and playgrounds. With over-stimulation from screens and a fast-paced accomplishment culture, the physical nature of textures and patterns can bring viewers into the physical reality.
Runs July 2 through September 26. Gallery Talk and Opening Reception: July 2
