Manchester Confidential: Things to do in February

Really lovely to see my show featured in Manchester Confidential’s “Things to do in February” article. They write:

“Emma Lloyd is best known for transforming familiar objects – particularly books – into breathtaking paper sculptures, but this exhibition sees the talented local artist explore printmaking and other mediums besides with her trademark intricacy. We suggest making an afternoon of it and exploring the gorgeous Salford Museum and Peel Park while you’re there.”

Many thanks for the feature Manchester Confidential!

Preview of “Beyond the Linear”, Salford Art Gallery

What a fantastic turn out for the preview of my solo exhibition “Beyond the Linear” last night at Salford Art Gallery. It was wonderful to share the opening of my latest show with both familiar faces and new ones too! Special thanks to Luke Moore, Helen Milroy and Isabella Baker who took part in “Roll Play” (a unique couple of performances we devised especially for the event) and all who managed to make it over despite the bitterly cold weather and the pretty dire traffic / public transport situation.

If you haven’t managed to see it yet, there is plenty of time to visit as it will be running until 28th April 2019. For opening hours and more information please click here. There will also be an artist’s talk with a difference… stay tuned to find out more!

Article in Bees Blogs

A huge thank you goes out to Brian Wild of Bees Blogs for featuring my new solo show “Beyond the Linear” in his blog. He writes:

“Emma Lloyd is a Manchester based contemporary artist working mainly in text. Emma has exhibited both nationally and internationally, most recently in ‘Art of the Book’ and ‘Summer Salon’ at Seager Gray Gallery in California , ‘The World of Paper Products’ Hanok Village, Jeonju South Korea which featured art in paper from a global list of artists, as well as Belgium and South Africa.

I first came across Emma’s work at Saul Hay Gallery’s exhibition ‘Material Matters‘ in August 2017 and was astounded by the intricacy and attention to detail which formed her work. Her pieces are beautifully constructed textual sculptural artworks, which grabbed the attention of, and delighted, visitors to the exhibition.

For this latest exhibition at Salford Museum and Art Gallery will again be exploring language, visual puzzles and cognitive properties. I’m looking forward to seeing this latest offering from Emma and would recommend you put a date in your diary.”
