Emma Lucy McArthur is an Artist and Printmaker based in Bristol, UK. Her book The Body Tarot was published in 2022 and she recently showcased a selection of her work at this years BS4 Art Trail.
Some time ago, a life drawing teacher shared with her his love of using music to shape and influence the creation of art, citing the ambient/avant-garde works of the likes of Jon Hopkins and William Basinski as inspiration.
Whilst listening to my second heavymetalkids.uk radio show for Ship Full Of Bombs, Emma decided to apply these teachings in a more pop setting, creating the work featured here in real-time response to Cindy’s A Trumpet On The Hillside.
I absolutely love the concept of one art form influencing another so directly, with a new kind of hybrid being created instantly as a result. When I look closely at these lines, I can’t help but wonder if some of the magic I can’t find the words to describe is somehow captured within.
