At Grizedale

Emma was selected for the 2010–2011 residency programme. Taking the holiday haven that is Coniston as her starting point, Emma has scrutinised the tourism industry and looked at the ownership and control of housing in the village. She also produced a notice board that served as a question-and-answer knowledge exchange point for tourists, basically a local, analogue version of 'Yahoo! Answers'.

Emma is a multifarious artist-in-residence and has simultaneously worked with residency programmes at Wysing Art Centre and The Showroom, London, and often produces performances, events or inclusive programmes with local communities, rather than working in the studio-gallery network.

She took part at The Showroom's symposium on cybernetics, 'Signal:Noise', to discuss social systems, which is very broadly what her work deals in, whether through strategies of historical re-enactment, or site-specific ceremonies or rituals.

Emma is also Co-Director of Delta Arts, an art collective 'exploring the possibilities of mobility and performativity', and collaborates with landscape architect Sadie Stowell as SubRural, to 'explore the psychology of space, investigating trigger factors to human experience and the potential transference of spatial elements between the rural and urban environments.'
