Emily Tracy has created socially engaged projects which invite collaboration over many years.
Using collage, objects and collaborative research, and, inspired by museum or archive ordering systems, she works to create participatory installation, small sculptural pieces, collage and artist books. These often reflect upon our relationship with our surroundings and our changing environment.
She has invited audiences to collect and sort clutter, help reunite lost property, create collage to reflect our roller coaster lives of the last two years, and ask the question ‘What do we hold dear?’ Recent projects have been driven to explore the human desire to know, to find and to collect, and how this relates to our lives and places we live in.
Emily has created projects for The Arts Council, B-Side, Metal (Peterborough), The Museum of London (Docklands), The Bloomsbury Festival and Up Projects, amongst many others. She has presented her work at Unit 1 Gallery, LCN (SPACE), The End of the Road festival, Nunnery Gallery, Akkigalleria, Finland, and Shunt Lounge.
