Emma Lloyd dissects, reforms and translates language, pushing it beyond its constraints and reconfigures it, challenging its structural boundaries. Through installation, sculpture and printmaking, the artist explores the cognitive properties of sight, the shifts between looking and reading, questioning not only what we see but how we interpret it. This opening preview of Beyond the Linear: Emma Lloyd at Salford Museum and Art Gallery will feature a unique musical intervention from live musicians where the audience direct.
