This Friday’s featured artist is Emma Johnson (no relation to last week’s featured artist Bryce Johnson).
Emma Johnson lives in England. She is a visual artist, working mainly with installation and mixed media.
Her work deals with issues of deconstruction and transformation, the recycling of materials, and the ambiguity of communication.

Recently Emma's been working with maps, their imagery and concepts.
A series of maps and atlases have been dissected, revealing a radically altered visual and physical structure.
