“What is an artist?

A provincial who finds himself somewhere between a physical reality and a metaphysical one…. It’s this in-between that I’m calling a province, this frontier country between the tangible world and the intangible one—which is really the realm of the artist.” — Federico Fellini

Emma Anna's latest online exhibition Tourist continues her documentation of The New Old World (aka The N.O.W.), her somewhat hyperactive vision of a personal utopia.

Full of dichotomous eccentricity, incongruous juxtapositions and absurd scenarios and drawing reference from both the aged and the modern, The New Old World (aka The NOW) represents the surreal estate of an overactive imagination.

This new series of collages form a collection of Passports to The N.O.W. and reference many of the recurring themes of Emma's work - exploration and adventure, creative thinking, surrealism and the poetry of dreams. 

Issued under the auspices of the fictional Choice Choice Travel Agency, these tokens of Emma's vivid imagination are opportunities to explore The N.O.W., to escape the rat race… explore creative freedom, new territory, borderlessness and the space between your ears… enter new world of twisted wonderland… all welcome, welcome all.

All aboard!
