Emily McGhie Jackson
Emily McGhie Jackson is a Scottish artist exploring atmosphere and our perception of reality. Using an introspective practice to document her relationship to both landscape and imagined spaces, her work showcases how personal perspective can shape the way we see our environment, and vice versa. Replicating the feeling of mentally occupying one space, whilst physically occupying another.
Stretching from scripted spaces, in urban architecture and video games, all the way to daydreams and the Scottish landscape, she aims to reflect the way we are pulled between ‘spaces’ in modern life. Investigating how the 2D planes apparent in both technology and painting can create false spaces which can be lived inside.
