Hello! My name is Emily, although you’ll see my artwork under the name May. I’m an illustrator from Norwich currently residing in Nottingham. Perfection is something that I do not strive for within my work or texture and imperfections are always embraced and even encouraged. I prefer tangible pieces of work; I think it makes an audience feel more connected to it. I explore this through working in 3D with sculpting, sewing, and modelling. I would like to continue to explore this world of 3D, more specifically through stop motion animation. At the heart of it, art for me is about the impression it leaves on others. I find people to be my main source of inspiration. Although I don’t often gravitate towards illustrating them it is more human behaviours, how people present themselves and the reasons why we do the things we do which fascinate me. I am highly interested in collective human experiences and unspoken rules which everyone seems to know without ever discussing it.
