"Therefore, the places in which we have experienced day-dreaming reconstitute themselves in a new daydream, and it is because our memories of former dwelling-places are relived as day-dreams these dwelling-places of the past remain in us for all the time."
--Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space
Emily Manning-Mingle was born in New York. She moved to Boston to attend the College of Fine Arts at Boston University and graduated with a BFA in Painting and an MFA in Studio Teaching.
She has exhibited her work in Massachusetts, New York, Texas and Italy. She has received several awards, including the Constantin Alajalov Scholarship and the Foundation for an Open America Painting Award. Her work is in a permanent site-specific installation at Boston University and in several private collections.
Emily also teaches art to elementary, middle school, and high school students. She is an active member of the Boston Critique Group, a junior varsity member of New Craft Artists in Action (NCAA) and works out of her home in Brighton, MA.
Inspired by observations, memories, and daily routines, Emily creates work that reinterprets traditional patterns and describes her experience of inhabiting physical spaces. Born into a family of resourcefulness, thrift and industry, she enjoys collecting, altering, and re-purposing scraps; turning discarded paper, clothing, paint, magazines, letters, and other supplies into improvisational new compositions embedded with personal history. Employing various techniques, including painting, sewing, collage and assemblage, she explores themes associated with domesticity, routine, gender and consumption and draws attention to spaces and objects that are typically overlooked.
