I am a British, Female, Autistic professional artist, who is also a part time student, studying to achieve a masters degree in fine art. Drawing and installing interdependent, universal structures, that provoke thought and critique on humanly made networks, systems and structures that do not care equally for all people(s), beings and things.

These MESH manifestations, are Emily’s imaginings or interpretations of the structures, systems and networks that are naturally occurring in our universe.

These nets consisting of meshes are boundless, and full of endless possibility.

The MESH acknowledges our interdependence with ALL people, beings, and things which are represented by the knots, sharing their complexity.

They depict all that has/does/will exist in our vast, expansive universe.

The lines, and knots intersect, interact, and entangle, vibrating in forms of waves, and fields.

They represent ALL existence at ALL scales from quanta (micro) to universal (macro) and everything in between. The interactions between ALL beings, things, energy, and forces, in the voids of the deep, negative space, and timelessness.

Whilst thinking, and manifesting the MESH, we are in a position to critique the humanly made, the networks, systems and structures that govern our everyday lives from the political, economic to the overwhelming amount of different ways we communicate in an over connected yet disconnected era.

About the artist

Emily Duchscherer Kirk Studio

British Autistic Artist b.1986 in Yeovil, Somerset. Grew up in the rural village of Stoke-Sub-Hamdon, below the ancient bronze, and iron age fort, Ham Hill Country Park.

After completing vocational qualification in art and design (AVCE) with city & guilds photography, Emily didn’t feel confident, in her ability to pursue art as a career. She worked in supermarket progressing management, 2004 -2017.

After a mental health crisis, after giving birth to her son in 2015, Emily left her job in retail management, and exploration into experimental painting began. This work helped her to balance the condition of her mental health. Whilst exhibiting locally, and attempting to support herself, and other creatives in a similar position. Emily founded the ‘Independent Business Directory 2018-2020’ and ‘We Make Things Gallery 2019-2020’ a shop, and gallery space in Yeovil town centre. This sadly closed due to the pandemic, and its uncertainty.

In 2022, Emily finally began her three year full time BA Fine Art degree at the age of 36, in 2023 after self reflection whilst developing her artistic practice, she was diagnosed Autism Spectrum Disorder level 1.

Her difficulties in life suddenly seemed to be understood. This reflected in her now conceptual work, through installation of three dimensional drawings: ‘Phytoplankton and Microplastics, 2022’, ‘Eight Hundred Knots Acknowledging Eight Billion People, 2023’, ‘Hearts = Humanity, 2024’, and her final BA Fine Art degree project ‘Wave Function of the Universe, 2025’.

In September 2025 Emily began a part time MA in Fine Art, and in May 2026 opened her first independent studio, with a small gallery and reading room named Emily Duchscherer Kirk Studio Ltd. She decided to open these spaces to the public six days a week, to allow people self led exploration, with her guidance if needed.

It is situated in what was a dye house, at Old Tannery, Victoria Road, Yeovil. Five minutes walk from Yeovil’s Pen Mill Train station which links from Weymouth, Dorchester to Frome, Bruton to Bath, Bristol, and London Waterloo.

It is a 10 minutes walk from her home on Lyde Road. In this space, in her own community, she wishes to allow other people the space to self reflection, and self expression, in a deprived area of the town, where there is not many facilities.

Her final major project ‘What a MESH!’ is in development, and will begin in January 2027.

Pattern Seeking Mesh: spacetime interactions of energy, forces, all beings and things, 2026

Experimental films on imagining the MESH, featuring my drawings and sound/visual recordings of my pattern seeking observations, of these magical interactions between light, water, and naturally occurring existence. These matter(s) on land and sea, provoke thought, a critique of humanly made networks, systems, structures and communications, that do not care equally for all people(s), beings and things.
