Emma Luna is a native of the Dominican Republic and studied art education at the University of Minnesota. A local ceramic artist influenced her in traditional pottery and she continued to create this style of clay vessel after moving to Boston where she received a BFA in painting from Massachusetts College of Art. About three years later she moved again and then her work evolved in a more experimental direction away from vessels and towards sculpture.
Luna's work suggests the heavy burden of domestic chores. The stacking of a pile of laundry reflects issues of being a woman and finding the delicate balance between hard work and household tranquility.
"I want to give importance to things that aren't generally considered important, kind of like the Pop Artists of the 1960's" says Luna of her realistic towels, socks, and napkins.
