She has her work held in public and private collections in Rome, Milan, Dublin and Edinburgh. Emma mainly works with sculpture; using a variety of medium. Taking an intuitive and self-mutating approach, emerging in the detail are suggestions of limbs, semi-familiar objects and undecipherable artefacts.
