Emily Speed's interests lie in the relationship between people and buildings and her work explores the body and its relationship to architecture. The idea of shelter and the inhabitant is at the core of much of the work; how a person is shaped by the buildings they have occupied and how a person occupies their own psychological space.
Emily studied BA (Hons) Drawing & Painting at Edinburgh College of Art (2001) before completing an MA in Fine Art: Drawing at University of the Arts London: Wimbledon College of Art (2006). Emily was resident at the British School at Rome as the Derek Hill Foundation Scholar (drawing) in 2014/15. Recent exhibitions include solos at Tate St Ives, TRUCK, Calgary, Fort Worth Contemporary Arts, Texas and group exhibitions at: Laumeier Sculpture Park, St Louis, USA; Bluecoat, Liverpool; Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Musée Cantonal des Beaux-Arts, Lausanne, Switzerland. In 2021 she will present a new commission at Tate Liverpool as the recipient of the inaugural Art NorthWest Award.
