I am Emily Schuhmann, a former art professor, now ceramic artist, florist, and intuitive practitioner.
The way something is formed; the repeating and rolling: the endless visiting and revisiting of an idea or process is at the heart of my work and maybe also my life.
My sculptures and drawings derive from acts repetition and unlikely combination. As I am [perhaps forever] recovering from a spinal injury I have become a vessel, a melting pot, a crucible holding sometimes incompatible amalgamations of medicine, biology, politics in the form of health care, creative activity and healing practices for mind, body and spirit. In my art I indicate and explore direct as well as symbolic imagery related to the human and animal body, botany, poetry, injury, biology, healing, health, and playful repetition.
