So the other day I got an email from my good friend and fellow artist, Emmerline Smy, telling me about her blog, her new work, what is going on in London, etc. It is pretty fun to be talking and collaborating with artists across the big drink. See, the Internet is good for things besides pornography, sports betting and celebrity gossip. I knew it.Anyhow, Em and I have been swapping ideas on art for years, and ideas on gossip for even longer. Even so, I was a bit surprised when I saw Em’s new work (above). I had just written in my visual art journal a month or so ago that I was going to do a whole series of photos through windows… making the windows part of the subject itself. Art and photography through the mediation of glass. Or, raising the question of what exactly is the subject— the image out the window? The setting inside? The glass? The impression? The architecture you can’t see?
Who knows, but it sounded like a cool idea for a series of photos. Then I open up Em’s blog and see these new works. Basically, the psychic bond continues.

When I think of contemporary surrealism, art linked to subconscious, or dreams leaking their way onto canvas, I always think of Em. Her work is stellar and always interesting to behold.
