EMMA GRIFFITHS
AKA EMMA CAN SEE MONSTERS
I FEEL IT EVERYWHERE I GO
COLLECTED BY FLORENCE KOSKY AND DELILAH MONTAGU
I FEEL IT EVERYWHERE I GO - a rolling collaborative project that asks artists to create work in whatever medium they choose.
A singular prompt is given to the artists, with the prompt for being the title of the project itself. The prompt opens and discusses the difficulties these artists have faced in a patriarchal society, with work that touches on topics including sexual assault, societal norms and prejudice, mental health and disability, heartbreak, addiction, and disordered eating.
The works are compiled into a physical zine, with printed QR codes taking the reader to an online gallery which displays audio-visual pieces. This zine is being sold and any profit is going to Create UK - the UK's leading charity empowering lives, reducing isolation and enhancing wellbeing through the creative arts.
ZINE 002
Emma's work is a large painting depicting a haunting memory from a work trip. She had no choice but to join her colleagues on a work trip said to be a beautiful retreat to the British Seaside. Despite being treated to staying in a iconic brutalist home created by a renowned architect, the true form of those around her started to show within the concrete walls. With no other residents for miles, the iconic home became a trap stalked by animalistic transformations of power and greed.

ZINE 001
Emma's work is a series of illustrations and written text that can be experienced like a grotesque storybook. Each describes the difficult mental journeys of growing as a woman, combining the beauty, the strange, and the natural.
