Thanks to everyone at Kaiser Wilhelm Museum Germany and all the visitors for the very busy opening today!

A new installation PSYCHE, commissioned as part of the contemporary artist series, in dialogue with works from the museum, is now open.

In response to the Thorn Prikker Mural ‘The Ages of Man’ 1923 life cycle,
my installation ‘Psyche’ describes life as messy, always in flux, multiple and in chaos.
It explores applications of knowledge and the development of artificial intelligence in our lifetime.

In contrast to Prikker’s seasonal cycle, in which man holds the world in his hands, controls nature and holds dominion, the world in my painting is under pressure.
A conscious planet, too hot and too cold.
A baby born into a whirlwind, into flames.
Terrestrial beings blown about by the storms of our times, the dynamics of power, extraction and exploitation.
Life and death are continual, figures fall and rise.
Seasonality collapses.
Tides build, junk piles up, information overloads.

A 21st century pioneer reaches out towards other planets, in a new wave of colonisation.

The other panels describe an artificial meta-world, a smashed mirror. Continual self-reflection, an oil slick of anxiety, dependency and fear.
Pouring ourselves into AI, soul scraping, being mined for our humanness.
Robots move into outer space.

Other textile works, made of digital and machine knit and hand sewing/applique reference the asteroid Psyche and the Moon. 🌙 🌑 🌒

Sculptures mirroring modernist scientific models (and abstract modern sculpture) litter the space.

Great to have had the support to develop this work, thanks @kunstmuseen_krefeld

Thanks so much to everyone who came to the opening of my solo show ‘Everything in Transformation’ last night at Hales Gallery, London.
Great to see so many friends and meet you!

A group of paintings on silk explore the transformative qualities of natural materials; the stuff that we’re also all made of.
The materiality of the work is really important to me: surfaces that glitter with metallics and iridescents, the sheen of the pale pink crepe de chine, the intensity of the pigment.

Figures that are either living or ghost-like pass through the spaces we inhabit.
Temporary inhabitants and age-long presences encounter rocks, rivers, tides, ancient trees, roots, earth, minerals and weather.
Everything exists in movement - no fixed point, no resting place.
Where there are no figures, the plants rewild.
The works, including a group of magical garden drawings and the 3D fabric work ‘Rootless Plant’ meditate on the wonder of being alive.
When you pause, do you ever wonder ‘why am I me? Here? Now? Inhabiting this consciousness, in this form?’ Isn’t life an experience!

Thanks so much to the lovely team @halesgallery!

The show continues until 22 May

PSYCHE : Emma Talbot
solo show @kunstmuseen_krefeld, opening 17 May.

As part of the programme of contemporary artist interventions with the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum collection Krefeld Germany, I was invited to respond to Thorn Prikker’s life cycle mural in the museum.

I wanted to describe life now, at this point in time, in a volatile world.
Life is messy and complicated.
We’re terrestrial beings on the brink of expansion into space. We’re entangled in nature and artificial systems. We’ve plundered this planet and now start to eye up the universe.

Have you ever wondered why Greenland is of so much recent interest in geopolitics?
It provides one of the most stable locations from which the activity of satellites can be controlled.
AI has sped up the development of robotic capacities, meaning that planets such as the moon can soon be mined for their metals and minerals, an activity controlled by satellites.
These metals/minerals are necessary resources for the development of technology.

NASA currently has a project to explore the asteroid Psyche, a mass of such materials, which, if mined, is proposed to be worth 700 quillion dollars. (If shared with everyone on Earth, that would make each person a billionaire).

We’re subject to a space race, a race for abundance beyond anything we’ve experienced before,the expansion of human into fields beyond anything we’ve known.
To develop artificial intelligence, we’re all feeding machine learning, pouring our souls-our psyche into chat 💬 software. We’re being mined ourselves.

The installation questions what we are, what we’re becoming and where we’re going. It asks what matters and what makes us human. What is consciousness and is it shared.

Have you ever wondered why Greenland is of so much recent interest in geopolitics?
It provides one of the most stable locations from which the activity of satellites can be controlled.
AI has sped up the development of robotic capacities, meaning that planets such as the moon can soon be mined for their metals and minerals, an activity controlled by satellites.
These metals/minerals are necessary resources for the development of technology.

NASA currently has a project to explore the asteroid Psyche, a mass of such materials, which, if mined, is proposed to be worth 700 quillion dollars. (If shared with everyone on Earth, that would make each person a billionaire).

We’re subject to a space race, a race for abundance beyond anything we’ve experienced before,the expansion of human into fields beyond anything we’ve known.
To develop artificial intelligence, we’re all feeding machine learning, pouring our souls-our psyche into chat 💬 software. We’re being mined ourselves.

The installation questions what we are, what we’re becoming and where we’re going. It asks what matters and what makes us human. What is consciousness and is it shared.

PSYCHE : Emma Talbot
solo show @kunstmuseen_krefeld, opening 17 May.

As part of the programme of contemporary artist interventions with the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum collection Krefeld Germany, I was invited to respond to Thorn Prikker’s life cycle mural in the museum.

I wanted to describe life now, at this point in time, in a volatile world.
Life is messy and complicated.
We’re terrestrial beings on the brink of expansion into space. We’re entangled in nature and artificial systems. We’ve plundered this planet and now start to eye up the universe.

Today is the last day to see Emma Talbot’s (@talbot.emma) solo exhibition “Precious Metals” at our West Palm Beach gallery!

See it before it’s gone.
2414 Florida Avenue
West Palm Beach

At the centre of the show is the titular work: a large-scale, hanging silk painting that tells a contemporary story of human progress and transformation across five panels. Here, Talbot casts us into a fantastical sky, burning bright with planets, stars and rays of light.

Italian Story explores our complex relationship to and dependence on nature. In this work, the wolf reappears, this time biting into the figure’s hand as they gaze up at the moon. Again, it’s a scene that suggests both a feeling of connection and threat – the world around them is on the brink of change, shifting in swirling forms and watery rivulets.

Closing Soon | Emma Talbot, ‘Always in Transformation’ at Hales London

🔗Link in bio to learn more.

Through 22nd May 2026

A solo exhibition of works by Emma Talbot, Always in Transformation, presents silk paintings, intimate drawings and sculpture. Talbot’s practice explores the complexity of our relationship with nature, technology and the world around us, combining myth and storytelling with futuristic perspectives to create thought-provoking works.

In Always in Transformation Talbot’s work offers a reminder of our fundamental connection to the natural world and to one another. In her body of silk paintings Everything is Energy, human figures, rock formations, flowing water, plants and trees are imbued with a living energy—suggesting an ecosystem in which all elements are interconnected. Ideas of transformation and continuity are central to her practice. Talbot’s process often involves intuitively making drawings before delving into extensive research, intertwining her findings with myth, memory and observation to tell the stories of our time. Her sculptural forms extend these ideas into three dimensions, giving physical presence to concepts that might otherwise remain intangible.

Here, Talbot casts us into a fantastical sky, burning bright with planets, stars and rays of light.  Her signature figures – which she likens to ‘rootless plants’ – become extra-terrestrial beings here, able to traverse and physically touch the planets around them, yet still tethered to their earthly origins.
