Description: 
I am a Portsmouth based mixed media artist. Art has always been a huge part of my life; as a child, I used to fill the backs of endless wallpaper rolls with sketches, always drawn to colour, texture, and making spaces my own. My work pulls energy from street art, pop culture, and sci-fi, living in layers of spray paint, collage, and textures stitched together into bold, fragmented worlds. Street art has taught me to create on a larger scale, staying loose using spray paint with loud colours and enabled me to make beautiful connections with inquisitive passers by whilst painting live. Pop art allows me to be playful in my art, remixing the everyday into something unusual, normally from my childhood. Sci-fi opens up the future, letting me imagine worlds beyond the present. Together, these influences collide in my pieces, shaping stories that feel familiar yet unexpected.

I am an artist based in Fareham who uses painting and performance as my creative expressions. I have taken inspiration from NASA’s missions to Jupiter, particularly the groundbreaking images released from Mission: JUNO which captures the brilliance of the planet’s poles. This series for POSE 2025 is my first collection but will not likely be my last!

Description: 
I am exploring trauma and identity through analogue and digital photography. My work draws on inherited narratives and personal experiences that shape our understanding of self, home, and belonging — FittingInStandingOut. My practice is rooted in the tactile: large-format and film photography allow me to work with light, time, and memory in a process-led way. I am particularly interested in intergenerational trauma and the invisible legacies that pass silently through generations, shaping the ways we connect — or disconnect—across time and place. This is not only about inherited histories, but also about chosen connections — inviting others to grow your close circle. Grounding ourselves, finding where we stand, and how we relate to the world around us becomes central. I’m drawn to the spaces in between: seen and unseen, fragile and resilient. My work invites pause and reflection on what it means to belong — and how that meaning shifts: Shifting perception.

EMMA JUSTINE FORD

SMMAP ID #122

Artist: Emma Justine Ford

Maps:
POSE 25

Description: 
I have been an artist for 4 years and love all things whimsy, horror and nerd-culture. Having fallen in love with art from a young age, I routinely find myself getting lost in worlds I create. At the moment my main inspirations are my dog, Bob, a 1 year old Jack Russel that moonlights as a ball of energy, videogames like Pokémon and Mario, and the fey folk. Pieces you can expect to find at a SpookieBlu are split between mixed media traditional, usually gouache or acrylic on canvas, and prints of digital media created through procreate. This will be my first time at POSE Portsmouth, and I am honoured to be amongst such amazing creatives and to showcase my art to the public. Whether you’re searching for you next art piece, or just wat to window shop, you’ll be greeted with a big smile and a warm welcome!
