"You were, you are, and you always will be, is a recent body of works representing my exploration of interior spaces pictorially colliding with aspects of my personal history. My thoughts whilst making this series were to build an environment around these moments to physically weave around and between, to grasp moments of familiarity, expectation and nostalgia. My reflections are about how we exist within spaces of (in) tangible realities that are present and simultaenously experienced as metaphysical: spiritual, supernatural, or transcendental." Emma Prempeh

Emma Prempeh’s debut solo exhibition with Tiwani Contemporary, You were, you are, and you always will be, is held in a space poetically circumscribed by ode and elegy to family, and to friendships. The artists’ re-presentations of events extracted from family and personal photographs, are a commentary on the circularity and malleability of time and memory, and how these visual queries can prompt unexpected answers, interpretations, or evolve new questions that resurface as embodied, philosophical, or material embellishment in the experience of them.
