“For over 15 years Emily McIntosh has produced sculptural works that have examined the human condition through representation of biological and psychological structures, functions and activities involved in human self preservation, memory, vulnerability, transience, and resilience. This body of work builds upon these themes with a specific focus upon relational aspects of human functioning. This work is an investigation into the bio-psychological systems that regulate the functioning of our internal emotional world and our interactions with the world at large. These systems operate out of conscious awareness and correct dysregulation and maintain regulation to manage our emotional equilibrium and interpersonal connectedness.
