Celestial, otherworldly and intensely intimate, the latest release from Emma-Leone Palmer’s Afterglow collection was born during a time when she was “searching for something”. Like the glowing wires circling her female figures, her art is a conduit for new channels of self- discovery. Mythology, sensuality and the divine feminine spark light in the darkness, where she says the magic comes alive. Using light as an allegory for connection and energy, Emma explores the cinematographic potential of working with low- frequency electricity. Photographing in complete darkness, she allows her subjects to interact organically with pliable lighting strips and neon wires. She explains: “It’s all about how light touches the surface of the skin, the sensation, the intimacy of those points of connection. Night is the time for lovers and adventures, a time for magic. Sometimes it’s not what we see, it’s what we don’t see.” Named after the moons – which have been linked to madness and the occult – her paintings range from tranquil scenes in calming blues and greens to more warriorlike shades of red, orange and yellow. The former Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year contestant says she paints “little pieces” of herself, adding: “Some are created in times of desperation and feeling lost, some with a rippling sensuality, some whilst I dance with music and fun pulsing in my veins.” Featured in the collection are Emma’s first-ever limited edition prints, each of which is signed and has been hand- varnished by our specialist atelier team. Amongst the selection of beautiful original artworks are two diptychs with dual panels that can be hung in two different ways – making them a versatile addition to any home décor.
