About the Item

Emily Holt says of her work... My work is a collection of objects made from paper and found material to suggest open-ended narratives on themes civic, architectural, and cartographic. The paper assemblages are made from large sheets of paper that have been treated with graphite, wax or paint. After the papers have accumulated enough textures and colors on both sides of the sheets, I then break down the paper into more manageable sizes only to be reconstructed back into large scale multi-layered assemblages. My process for how I build the assemblages relies on intuition, improvisation, adaptation, play and discovery. I cut, fold, stitch, glue, hide, reveal, reverse, tuck, embed, layer, build and destroy until I find a solution to the puzzle. Another part of my creative practice is finding artifacts on my walks. My habit is to observe the ground and notice discarded items scattered along my path. I hunt, search, scavenge, take, receive, dig, gather and glean from what is unwanted, lost or thrown away. Brightly colored wire, broken pottery, jewelry boxes and toys are beautiful on their own, but also offer utility as raw material for making art. These found objects find their way into my works as books and sculptures. The final pieces are stages or theatrical sets. Untold stories are layered into the objects. The viewer is cast as an actor and their lines are internal and unheard.
