About the Artist:
Emma Safir (pronounced sapphire) is an artist based in New York who recently graduated with her MFA in Painting + Printmaking from the Yale School of Art. Safir navigates the opacity of intersubjective experience and the transience of memory through material exploration and manipulation. She integrates weaving, smocking, lens-based media, rasterization, upholstery, among other methods. Her towel is inspired by one the artist had as a child; as she recalls its memory, it fades, and the stars begin to melt away.
