Hopes and Dreams Podcast
In this first episode of Hopes and Dreams S2 during Baby Loss Awareness Week, Emma talks to South London artist Emz Finch about miscarriage during Covid19 - something they have a shared experience of. Miscarriage is horrendous in itself, but the pandemic has made it even more isolating. However, Emz has found healing through her art and nature and explains techniques that have helped her recover from her losses and be hopeful for trying again. The episode is full of advice and where Emz accessed support and guidance - from books to Instagram connections. And will provide you with advice of things you can try yourself. It's a very positive and uplifting chat. Happy listening.
Art Juice Podcast
The work Emily is doing now was prompted by a particular moment after a difficult series of personal experiences. Emily has found the power of nature to has helped with her PTSD flashbacks and has an ambition to build an installation that will hopefully start conversations about loss during COVID and will offer a multi-sensual space to explore the healing quality of trees and nature and reflect on what we all might have lost during this difficult time at a point the world is starting to emerge from lockdown.
This is an inspiring story - on a personal level, and for artists I hope this will encourage you that sharing what you can have such a positive impact in the world.... look what started from that painted pebble!
