The Many Faces

By Emily Joy 2025

Exhibition shots of ‘The Many Faces'

Large cyanotypes and ceramic sculpture exploring the many faces of ecologically-entwined Alpine myths and folk tales. Ritual objects, snow myths, and fearsome creatures speak of deeper ecological frictions, including human capacity for empathy, female narratives, and environmental and bodily integrity.
