Artists
At Grizedale
Emi Uemura is a Japanese artist based in Beijing. She originally came to us through Vitamin Creative Space, having been developing food and horticulture projects in the business district of the Chinese capital.
Emi began her residency in 2011 with an idea to grow vegetables on the grave of John Ruskin in St Andrews Churchyard in Coniston. This has opened up into a wider project concerning the state of our food culture.
She is part of a group running the Homeshop in Beijing, a community based shop front project that extends it work to farmers markets and allotment gardens.
