Emmie Biervliet Artist of the Month Emmie is a mixed media artist whose inspiration comes from journeys, mystical stories and the bizarre sights she has encountered on her travels. Her work has a dreamlike quality and is often based on the transitory nature of buildings from its planning and construction to its ruins and structure revealed. She is interested in capturing how the lives of former inhabitants have permeated into the building. She exhibits regularly in the UK and internationally with shows in New York, Singapore and Hong Kong in the last year. To see more of Emmie’s work, stop by The Canteen May 1st-31st.
