Emily Motto is an artist working between sculpture, installation and drawing, often creating playful and unstable forms, arenas and mazes. Her work invites endless possibilities when shapes and lines are extended into palpable forms in space, with dependencies on weight, material reactions, and physical limits. Emily is currently the New Contemporaries studio bursary holder at The Bluecoat and recipient of the Gilbert Bayes Award from the Royal Society of Sculptors.
