A Quick Tour Through Emma Plunkett's Artwork

In this three minute video, you can see a compilation of my artwork from studio shoots and exhibitions. You can listen to me talk about my inspiration, insights and take a glimpse inside my new art studio. I have presented the pieces how they could be exhibited in a gallery or in an art lovers collection. My artwork is varied, spanning across different art materials and subjects – though I tend to concentrate on the female form from the experience of being female. I haven’t been able to include everything, though this should give you a good taster!

Making this video has been on my list of things to do for a while because I thought I had an out of date video on my home page. It turned out I’d already changed that ages ago for a slider – oh well, it was great motivation!

Behind The Scenes…

I discovered what I wanted to say and which art to show as I went along. I started off by talking off the top of my head and listening back to it. I found themes in what I was saying, so I took notes and refined it. If I read my lines out they sounded flat and wooden, however, when I spoke from memory, I delivered the lines differently each time. It took me several rounds of filming and editing until I was happy with it all.

Self Portrait

For the introduction and ending, where I’m on camera, I decided to light myself as I had been lighting the sculptures. This is a frame grab of me trying to memorise my lines.
