Some Like It Hot

13th July 2011 - 13th August 2011

Printed Ceramics by Emily Stubbs

Emily's ceramic work is inspired by kitchen appliances, magazines, fabrics and movies of the 50's and 60's, evoking personal memories and nostalgia with a wonderfully quirky twist.

Emily Stubbs, in her own words

Growing up around my Grandma's house I have always been intrigued by the mountains of old objects, from kitchen appliances to magazines, fabric patterns and old movies which fill the house from top to bottom.

My work is a celebration of these objects and their lost history, bringing together imagery and surface textures that are inspired by their surroundings. The 12 pieces displayed are quirky translations of old 50's and 60's movies, mixed with dress patterns, silhouetted figures and text of the time.

By displaying these objects on the wall, I intend to reposition their significance, bringing them out of cupboards for all to see as something to be admired and treasured as a focal point of reflection.'
