The exhibition of the 26-year-old’s drawings and mixed media collages are giving people the opportunity to see the county through Emy’s eyes
Autistic artist 26 year old Emy Spinks who has an exhibition of her work Yorkshire Landscapes at Selby Abbey.Pierson is Emy’s support worker and representative and she explains how the exhibition came about.
"Emy often uses local information and maps in her artwork as collage materials, so you may spot snippets of historical facts and detailed maps amongst Emy’s art,” says India. “Through this exhibition she has been able to share some of her favourite places to visit in Yorkshire, along with a few she’d like to visit too.
"Selby Abbey is the perfect backdrop for Emy’s exhibition, displaying her celebration of Yorkshire Landscapes in such an icon historical place.” What is remarkable about Emy’s work is the speed with which she draws once she decides what she is going to do. It can take time for her to work up to it but nice she does she’s off. Where as we would make mistakes and rub them out, Emy just draws and it is perfect every time.
