The 2023 Emery Prize Winner is...
Will Lowry

William Lowry is an artist who combines drawing, printmaking, sculpture and sound to probe themes of personal and collective memory, masculinity and queer desire, myth and modernity. 

"In Acheron (2023), my degree show installation, I staged a piece of elaborate architecture with an accompanying original soundtrack, recalling imperial-ecclesiastical structures and triumphal ceremonies. The idea was to subvert these in an off-kilter hellscape (in classical myth, Acheron is one of the rivers in Hades) that was theatrical, unnerving and poignant. "

As part of the prize there will be a solo-exhibition of Will Lowry's work in the Pembroke Art Gallery in Spring 2023.
