Emma Bloor
I fervently believe that viewing the world differently can, and should, be seen as something that can empower you, helping you do or create something nobody else can. As a visual artist, working in mixed media, photography, print and textile design, who has Irlen Syndrome, dyslexia, synaesthesia and uveitis, I am driven and passionate about design, having always found joy and purpose in creating artwork that reflects the beauty and vast array of positive aspects that come with viewing the world slightly differently. One of the aspects of creativity and design about which I am most passionate is ensuring it is accessible and available for everyone, especially all ages. I believe that engaging with audiences, through interactive, practical and creative projects that capture people’s imaginations and connects them, is so rewarding and plays a vital part within all communities. My work has been exhibited at a Work in Progress exhibition and Undergraduate Degree Show 2024, University of Dundee; New Designers 2024 exhibition, London; Designs for Living exhibition (2023), V&A Dundee; Chester Arts Fair; and Women of the World event, Storyhouse Theatre, Chester. Recently, I had two photographs exhibited at The Glasgow Gallery of Photography, for exhibitions entitled “Landscape” and “Monochrome”.
