This is an A3 painting on primed paper. I have it exhibited hanging from a thin walnut branch but it looks equally good in a frame. During the creative process this painting started off as a red tree… then an angel appeared above it, which turned into a gardener (who was pruning the tree). Then the gardener got more of a body, and the tree disappeared. The sea came into being, the gardener became female (wearing a white bikini – because though I like painting nudes, I felt that she probably wouldn’t be naked in real life). The moonlight reflection made it into a night-time scene, and then the waves breaking on the sand gave me a chance to play with abstract marks to suggest this. I even painted and scratched it with my left hand to be less precious. The bather appears slightly pensive, like she’s concentrating – perhaps treading carefully to avoid sharp stones, as she comes out of the sea. Her body is realistic in terms of everyday body standards of today. She’s no bikini model, in fact I used no model at all as reference. She is painted entirely from my memory of the human form. This painting had a real journey coming into being. I had to keep my creative channel really open the whole time, without judging myself or the painting, in order to let it just be.

Emma is a London born and educated artist, digital video maker and designer – her artwork straddles stoneware sculpture, cyanotype printing, painting (watercolour, oil and acrylic), illustration, photography, fabric art, animation and vector design. Emma's art is highly personal, her subjects include her friends (animal as well as human), places she’s visited, experiences and things that capture her imagination. Her artwork is uncontrived and free from trying to be anything other than what it is. "At the core of Emma Plunkett's work is the female. Not feminine or politicised. Whether it be a disappearing view of trees into the Spanish horizon, a slithering viscous ceramic or a candid nude. It is always individual and genuine. This we must celebrate”. Gareth Lister - Artist & Curator
