About the work

For the Whitechapel Gallery, Emma Hart has created a series of 20 unique ceramic works.

These hanging sculptures are portraits; an open mouth and nose are outlined in two interlocking forms, resembling a precarious Dada-esque typography.  The sculptural harmony is in turn ruptured by messy emotion. An open mouth dangles from the profile of a nose, the bridge of the nose has been pinched, and the bottom of the lip has been pulled, Oh Dear. Hart acknowledges the intrinsic doubt and anxiety in daily life and the precariousness of art-making inviting the viewer to physically experience the works as though they are indeed human substitutes.

About the artist

Originally trained as a photographer, London-based artist Emma Hart (b. 1974) continues to combine the paraphernalia of image making, actual photographs, film and sound with the added component of fired clay. Her brightly glazed ceramic objects and body parts stand in the legacy of Claes Oldenburg’s papier-mâché food sculptures of the 1960s – stacked cheese burgers, cascading ice cream sundaes. Similarly wobbly, over-scaled and cartoonish, Hart’s ceramic jugs, tongues, wine glasses, hands and breasts evoke not only the ephemera of our everyday appetites, but also our emotions. 

Hart’s recent works refer to repeated patterns of human behaviour and their effect on relationships.  The space between viewer and object is charged with the artist’s particularly personal take on her experiences. Intimacy, messiness, and autobiography are key motifs.

Hart was awarded the Max Mara Art Prize for Women in 2017, resulting in a six month residency in three Italian cities and a commission for a large-scale installation at Whitechapel Gallery, entitled Emma Hart: Mamma Mia! (12 July – 3 September 2017).

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Fantastic writing and non-stop action
Format: Kindle
This is a promising, fantastic beginning to what will be a 4-book series. Some readers may be content to read only the first 2 books, but I think you'll find that the story is so good that you'll want to keep reading books 3 and 4. Book 1 is about omega Elvana's introduction to the "Starling" brothers and their search for another missing person, Kelly. It's a bit of a rocky start, with deception and betrayal a key element. Hardly an auspicious beginning. Each member has their own path and purpose in the pack. Their interactions and the resulting narrative are so well-written that I found it difficult to put down. There is a cliffhanger that will have you reaching for book 2 as you finish, so make sure you have it on hand.
