Emma Stone-Johnson graduated in 2004 from Chelsea College of Art with a BA in Textile Design (First). Moving back to her first love of painting, she is now halfway through an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art.
Part of her studio practice includes an investigation into pigments, what is colour, constructing new brushes and writing.
‘Paintings are vessels for the artists’ inner worlds, the canvas a flickering light display,’ states Stone-Johnson. ‘Painting is a living breathing thing, it makes me feel connected to something greater. Creating transcends the banal and the boredom. A ritual, a dance. I’m not interested in painting anything too representational; because when form is missing all that is left is the sensation of presence and the colour and texture of memory.’
