Emma Hedditch (b.1972, U.K) is an artist living in New York. Their work focuses on daily practice, materiality, and distribution of knowledge as political action. They work with a framework for creative activity, that has a profound elasticity, contained by a continued sense of commitment to social relations and unravelling institutional frameworks through self-organization, tasks and projects, rather than a commitment to an institution’s rules or because of the provision of wealth creating activities. They received their BFA from Sheffield Hallam University.
