The artist’s primal goal is to inspire ecological change. She has been exploring the most effective pathways to nature connectedness to contribute to the revitalization of the perennial relationship between nature and Man. Her work aims to celebrate the beauty and profundity of trees to life on Earth. 

The artist spends a lot of time engaging with trees both physically and through research, inquiring into the interconnected relationships within forest communities.  Her working process requires immediate connection and proximity with the conceptual essence of the pieces she creates. Her work reinforces a connection between the observer and trees by displaying the textures of its aged bark using the process of latex casting. The technique mirrors the surfaces of different trees with precise detail. The artist constructs the tactile articles to become misshapen duplicates of trees to be displayed as installation and sculpture. In 2019 Emily lead a branch casting workshop explaining her technique.  

An approach she has explored is to confront audiences with imagery of withered topography, insinuating mankind’s exploitation and appetite of its elements. She has explored visual metaphors of fatality through the language of hanging and draping to amplify their skin-like qualities and shape. Alternatively, her work has developed to be more subtle in the way it communicates her beliefs. To entrance audiences with the qualities of trees using the elements of light and sound creating alluring environments rather than through confrontation.  

A language between natural commodities and humankind is clear within her work. The artist is eager to contribute to an activist agenda through a poetic language where feeling and the experiential initiative can inspire spectators to reflect on themselves, the environmental state of the Earth and tune in to the aura and importance of trees.
