Completed works have been presented at exhibitions and festivals in the UK, Italy, Sweden, Romania, Brazil, Mexico and India.
Emma’s Jerwood Bursary will support a new experimental photography series that will explore cross-cultural death practices, beliefs and taboos. Emma will engage with experts in arts, science and academia, and develop new photography techniques to react to research themes of personal decay, biological material, transience and remains.
