Emily Young @ Bowman Sculpture

Emily Young’s work echoes a sculpting tradition that looks back to humankind’s earliest relationship with stone.  She fuses this sense of tradition with a distinctly contemporary approach, creating a strong paradox between the age-old principles of carving and a progressive attitude to modern sculpture. Her work is also deeply environmental, taking on ideas about the preservation of our earth, its vast history and our responsibility to it. A selection of her works will be exhibited alongside pieces of other contemporary sculptors, such as Hanneke Beaumont, Nicole Farhi and Helaine Blumenfeld.
