Synopsis
Art has always been my outlet and nature my solace and both have carried me through life. In my sculptural work I reunite vintage books with the natural world from which their paper pages are sourced, with trees in particular being a recurrent theme.
It has been a long-term dream to create a book of my own work after sculpting with other peoples’ books for many years. Due to the recent worsening of health issues sculpting has become more of a challenge and so this seemed the perfect opportunity to make that dream a reality, proving that every cloud really does have a silver lining.
It is my wish that others facing similar health battles or challenges of any sort will feel seen and less alone.
I hope you will find a few moments of peace with this book and a renewed connection to the natural world and consequently your own nature, which really is, the ultimate form of healing.
About Emma Taylor
Emma repurposes vintage books to create sculptures which celebrate the natural world. Her choice of books as material reflects her academic background and passion for learning having gained her undergraduate degree in History of Art with Material Studies from University College London in 2017.
Having suffered for many years with ongoing health issues, it was also during her undergraduate degree that Emma became increasingly unwell. She was finally diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome after struggling for many years to find an answer for her deteriorating health.
Whilst continuing to face further physical challenges, it is from personal experience that Emma advocates for the healing power of nature and the peace that comes from connecting with the natural world.
