Emily Ketteringham | Accumulated, e, 2024
Screenprint
Media Dimensions: 43 x 61 cm
Image Dimensions: 30 x 52 cm
Edition of 21
Framed/unframed
Like an estimated 3% of the population, Emily has Aphantasia. For her, this means visual memories are, at best, hazy smudges of colour, or, more often, simply non-existent. Beautiful and dramatic landscapes make a strong visual and emotional impact on her when present, but are lost as she walks away. Her ‘Accumulated’ series is an attempt to hold onto the memory of seeing fabulous rock formations on an American road trip in 2024. The layers of metallic ink cause colour changes depending on the angle of view – referencing the experience of watching rock faces deepen in colour and mutate as the light changes, which hovers on the edge of memory. Emily’s precise, many-layered screenprints are often inspired by walking, geology and maps. She finds screenprinting the perfect medium in which to explore her love of colour. In her current body of work she is hoping to answer the question of ‘how do make work about landscape when you can’t remember what the landscape looks like?’
