Emmerson uses reprographic processes in combination with constructed forms to comment on socio-political issues … Given the blurring between traditional notions of printmaking and the global dominance of print media today, Emmerson’s use of “impressions” suggests a soft touch, but it comes with a stinging critique of contemporary superficiality … he demands something more than a mere glossing over or scratching at, the surface of things.2
