Emma Hart (artist)

Hart's art has been exhibited both in traditional gallery spaces and unconventional spaces such as "a semi-derelict flat above an abandoned frame-maker's shop" in Folkestone, as part of the 2014 Folkestone Triennial.^[4] Her artwork addresses questions of social class,^[4] familial behaviour,^[5] and the connections between relatives.^[2] Hart's initial training was in photography, but she has gradually focused more and more on sculptures using ceramics.^[5] She has also evoked her own life in her art: Dirty Looks, a 2013 exhibit at London's Camden Arts Centre, incorporated references to a job she once had working at a call center.^[4]

Upon winning the Max Mara Art Prize for Women in 2016, Hart embarked on a six-month-long residency in Italy,^[6] which was her first time spending more than three weeks outside of London.^[7]

A book accompanying her exhibit Banger at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh included a short story by experimental fiction writer Ali Smith.^[8]
