Artist Statement

Emmy Bright makes drawings, writings, prints, textiles and performances to understand the problems of identity, the problems of empathy and the problems of boundaries.  Their practice is about undoing, using circular reasoning, traditional craft processes, and flawed logic as ways to figure out how to be in the world, to figure out who they are in relation to others, and to make sure there’s some separation. In all of their work, Bright is working to upend normative good sense and orderliness in order to find something more complex, gnarly and real.
