“A motif of quest, of a search for transcendental experience, and an interest in disparity of scale-between the human and the wider physical world-have been a consistent feature of pretty much everything (Clodagh Emoe) has done as an artist.”

“Emoe suggests a correspondence between physical and mental spaces. The human effort to grasp the immensity of the physical world sybolises and is perhaps interchangeable with the effort to grasp our existential predicament. In both cases she sees us teetering on the edge of an immense nothingness, a void to which we are, of course irresistibly drawn.”
