Emily Stremming is a fine art photographer residing in St. Louis Missouri. Her work emphasizes medium specificity and pushes the boundaries of what makes a photograph Art using a variety of techniques. For a majority of her work, Emily physically slices into archival prints and creates a woven image distorted even further than the prints on their own.  Her woven images from far away appear to be pixelated, playing with the idea of a digital image becoming a tangible work of art created not only by a machine but with her own two hands.
In her work, a theme of manipulation becomes apparent with her use of mixed media. She creates what she calls “photo transfers” by a means of layering using a variety of digital and analog techniques of distortion. 

Emily has been challenging the boundaries of photography for ten years now, beginning when she first started to manipulate and cut into images. While studying photo theory at SIUE, she began to weave her photographs and distort her images into art objects and dove into the deconstruction of the photo paper itself. She received her Bachelors of Fine Arts from SIUE in 2013 and has been pushing her photography concepts further since then. Emily worked for DUET gallery from 2014-2018 and does curated collaborative projects with other artists in the St Louis community.

MILKTRUCK COWBOY studio is the space Emily utilizes for production including large scale weavings, photography work and curated projects.
