Emily Gui is an interdisciplinary artist and educator. Moving between printmaking, sculpture, photography and installation, her work often pushes the boundaries of process and technique through layering and material experimentation. Her current work re-materializes objects and examines the nuances of human relationships with ubiquitous materials, from collections to garbage and everything in between. At the edge of familiar, her recent projects encourage slow-looking while challenging habits of devouring images and objects.
She has exhibited in galleries throughout the US including BAMPFA, Print Center of New York, The University of Texas, Root Division, SoEx, Wayfarers, Incline Gallery, NIAD, Kala Gallery and at Cuesta College. She has taught at Kala Art Institute regularly since 2015 and currently teaches printmaking at UC Berkeley and UC Davis. She received her B.A. in Studio Arts from Bard College in 2012 and her MFA from the UC Berkeley Art Practice Department in 2021. While at Berkeley, she was awarded the Eisner Prize in Creative Excellence and a Research Fellowship Award from BCNM (Berkeley Center for New Media).
