We are delighted to announce that this year's ACS/Falmouth Materials Prize has been awarded to Emily Tapp.
On receiving the award, Emily said:
“What this means for my third year practice and the scope for my potential degree show works is immense. It also confirms funding for a self initiated residency of sorts, later this year, for me to completely immerse myself in a foreign landscape and make work within it. I am slightly overwhelmed and incredibly excited to use this award to make my most ambitious work yet. “
We wish Emily every success in her final year, and look forward to reporting on how the ACS/Falmouth Materials Prize will contribute to preparations ahead of her degree show in 2018.
