I am a creature enthusiast with a passion for design, illustration and animation. I am a graduate of Central St Martins BA Fine Art program.
My practice focuses on in-between states and lost stories, informed by folklore and my English-Japanese heritage. I take joy in celebrating the unusual.
How do we navigate our realities through storytelling?
Feel free to explore my work and get in touch for collaboration opportunities.
'Puppetry is such an engaging mechanism for telling stories. Emi Hinoshita-Horley has created a whole world in which the puppets and the landscape almost become one. That is always a really important theme in folk – from Morris dancers to sea creatures, there is always a sense you are blending into the landscape, that you are part of it.'
