Emilie Cummings-Enneking

Do you see the artist, do you see the art or do you see yourself?

Emilie opens doors through which we recognize ourselves in ways that are confrontational surprising and revealing. She doesn’t shy away from emptiness, darkness and death, balanced with light, playfulness and love.

She opens herself to deep questions, which either draw her in an uncontrollable urge to express herself or put her in the role of objective observer—adjusting what is naturally revealed.

She seeks a trust between her and the material to giver every piece its own heartbeat. This intimate dialogue, combined with her technical mastery, makes her work original and intriguing.

It is an art to find the balance between mastering the clay and the wax and letting the creation emerge from the material itself. 

To expres her observations of reality, her sculptures are an intentional hyperbole. They are suggestive and intriguing; leading the observer to look beyond physical reality.  

Emilie views every sculpture as a genuine gift realized through a combination of technical skill and creativity. The essence of this process is a free mind that releases the passion that lies behind each new creation. Emilie believes that as the piece emerges, relative truth finds it's way back to reality. That is the beauty of art.
