Em, who died in 2004 aged 27, was a talented artist, illustrator, educator and broadcaster, who worked with Tate Liverpool, Radio Merseyside, Liverpool Biennial, and North West Disability Arts Forum.
Featuring artists who have all lived, worked or studied in the region, VIDA! celebrates the impact, influence, inspiration and loss of this unique individual. Through collage, the show presents a community of artists, brought together through their association with Em, whose artistic practice includes fine art, illustration, graphic design, architecture, curating, performance art, installation, film, animation and photography. Reflecting Em’s own practice, collage is defined in both broad and conventional terms, encompassing traditional cut out and glue methods, sculptural assemblage or digital editing. VIDA! explores close friendships, casual acquaintances, work-related encounters, student-tutor dynamics, and how one chance meeting or opportunity can connect a seemingly disparate group.
