Emma Spreadborough
Emma Spreadborough (b. 2000) is an Irish artist who works predominantly in the photographic media. Her art practice is widely influenced by Irish literature, history and folklore.
In her most recent work, ‘You Mustn’t go Looking’, Emma was inspired by the writing of Brian Friel in Dancing at Lughnasa. She uses the analogies of his writing to explore ideas of the Irish home and Landscape in the wake of recent Northern Irish history.
During her time in the DAS Home residency, she aims to develop a new project while expanding her skills base.
Residency period: April - July ‘24
