Work­ing in sculp­ture, print­mak­ing and pub­lic instal­la­tion, Emi­ly Floyd is renowned for her text- based sculp­tures and ped­a­gog­i­cal­ly inspired works that com­bine a strong focus on visu­al qual­i­ties with an inter­est in the lega­cies of mod­ernism. Her work engages a wide range of dis­ci­plines includ­ing social activism, design and typog­ra­phy, lit­er­a­ture and cul­tur­al stud­ies, com­mu­ni­ty par­tic­i­pa­tion and pub­lic edu­ca­tion. Inter­sect­ing pub­lic space with a care­ful­ly con­sid­ered aes­thet­ic approach, the artist cre­ates bold spaces for pub­lic engage­ment and interaction
