Bloc Projects are delighted to introduce our new Members Edit initiative, in which limited and special edition works by artists within our Membership are presented and sold in our reception space.

The works for Designs for Spaceships #1 are selected from a large body of collages, drawings, and assemblages produced and used by the artist as ‘objects to think with’. Using found images, drawing, papers, pure mineral pigments, stationary, and metal, these small works operate as satellites and moonlets orbiting around and through larger, ‘public’ works.

This showcase brings seven of these objects out of the plan chest and into the light. Limited edition giclee prints are available on request.

Emma Bolland is an interdisciplinary artist and writer. They approach their practice with speculative, sci-fi sensibilities. Drawing on diverse histories such as those of Constructivism, the visual practices of theosophy, and astronomy, they often use materials that also suggest magical and metaphysical properties. Their work is physically and conceptually informed by their physical and mental disabilities but is not about them.
