An evolution of past critically-acclaimed work, this new series features photography and mixed media. It is a much lighter, almost ethereal, airy presentation, with a unique method of printing photography on clear glass or acrylic plexi. Emma often layers these see-through images on top of metal such as aluminum or steel, in a process she calls “Layerism” or “Translayerism,” referring to the process of layering multiple translucent panels in a manner that allows the work to be suspended and viewed from both sides.

Emma’s current favorite topic to shoot is people, although the subjects are often layered with architectural shots or images of sculpture. The presentation is inspired, photographing the essence of her subjects in a manner that seems both bold and yet somehow reserved at the same time, allowing for energy and emotion to shine through.

Emma Ferreira’s art will be on view at The Factory Gallery, Saturday, November 5, and by appointment. To RSVP for the artist reception, or for a private appointment, please email DaleYoungman@me.com.
