Based in rural Dumfries and Galloway, Emma Dove works with moving image, photography and sound, often collaborating with other artists, composers and choreographers.

Previous projects have explored relationships to place, the natural world, notions of home and personal memory — engaging with local communities to create immersive works layering long-take video, voices and field recordings. Completed films and installations have been presented at exhibitions and festivals in the UK, Italy, Sweden, Romania, Brazil, Mexico and India.

More recently, Emma has developed new work around themes of the body, birth, death and resilience which has included cross-cultural research between Scotland and Japan. She has also recently completed a 3-screen film as part of a large scale live theatre show, Solway to Svalbard - an immersive, multi-artform response to the spring migration of barnacle geese from the wetlands of the Solway Firth in South West Scotland to the Islands of Svalbard in the High Arctic.

Emma is also Film Programme Coordinator at CAMPLE LINE — a gallery and multi-arts organisation in Dumfriesshire.
