IEA Member Artist Profile

Emily Clawson

The imagery of Emily Clawson’s artwork is a response to exploration of the natural world. Sea algae, coral, plants, seedpods and insect wing patterns are sources of imagery for the art. These sources are examined macro and microscopically. Under the microscope elements are found and documented to help forge a visual language for the drawn and painted marks. The art takes shape through a mixed media approach using transferred drawing, wax, pigment, and found objects to build up multiple layers that reference different characteristics of the subject. The artwork is an invitation to consider concepts of fragility and sustainability through exploration of tiny intricate worlds within.
