Emily Young is a London based sculptor and one of the most distinctive direct carvers of stone at work anywhere in the country. She was born in London in 1951, but spent much of her youth in Italy and France before returning to study at Chelsea and St. Martin's. Her work combines what the novelist Louis de Bernières has described as: 'strength with gentleness...as if moulded by a lover's hand rather than chiselled out by steel'. This will be her first exhibition in Scotland.
