Safety First
Safety First, 2024, 18 x 24 in. acrylic on canvas.
$380
Little took the reference picture for this piece while working her day job as a safety manager, capturing an image of a safety violation where a scissor lift was left extended in front of a doorway. Little immediately fell in love with the image’s composition and felt the need to turn a near-miss into a beautiful work of linear art.

Baghawks
Baghawks, 2024, 20 x 10 in. oil on canvas.
$280- SOLD
Emily Little’s original "Do You Ever Feel Like A Plastic Bag" series includes a whimsical disturbance of famous paintings. Here, Little has recreated Edward Hopper’s famous “Nighthawks”, but added an even eerier element, placing plastic bags over the head of each figure, and one lone bag floating in the dark eve. The plastic bags only further complement Hopper’s depiction of solitude even amongst company, portraying the tendency of masking, alienating ourselves from human connection.

Son of Man with Bag on Face
Son of Man with Bag on Face, 2024, 11 x 14 in. oil on canvas.
$180
Emily Little’s original "Do You Ever Feel Like A Plastic Bag" series includes a whimsical disturbance of famous paintings. Here, Little has recreated Rene Magritte’s famous “Son of Man”, replacing its focal point of the green apple with a plastic bag covering Magritte’s face. Just as Magritte created several renditions of paintings of “Man in a Bowler Hat”, Little made two versions of him, one where the bag is placed over the head of the man, and this one, where the man stands with the plastic bag blown onto his face by wind– one where the plastic bag is an accident, and perhaps a burden, and one where it is welcomed and even celebrated.

The Persistence of Plastic Bags
The Persistence of Plastic Bags, 2024, 14 x 11 in. oil on canvas.
$280
Emily Little’s original "Do You Ever Feel Like A Plastic Bag" series includes a whimsical disturbance of famous paintings. Here, Little has recreated Salvador Dali’s famous “The Persistence of Memory”, replacing melting clocks with the all-too-familiar image of plastic bags polluting not just our world, but even our history. The contrasting sights of the high-brow fine art and mass-produced litter beg the viewer to ask of themself where they draw the line of beauty, as well as personal responsibility.

The plastic bags only add to the mystery of Magritte’s already perplexing piece, provoking the viewer to form their own conclusion about the fate of the two lovers.

I’ve Never Seen American Beauty
I’ve Never Seen American Beauty, 2024, 5 x 7 in. oil and acrylic on wood.
$100
In Little’s time creating her original "Do You Ever Feel Like A Plastic Bag" series, she has received countless remarks regarding the film “American Beauty”, which she has still never seen. Plastic bags can speak to the beauty in the mundane, they can portray a dystopian future of waste, or they can be viewed as evidence of our human race’s time on this earth, or even our values– no matter how you interpret the bags, their imagery stands alone. Viewers, upon discovering Little’s unfamiliarity with the movie, often express shock and prompt the artist with the question “why paint the plastic bags, then?”, but Little is shocked that plastic bags have become so strongly correlated with this film that it has claimed the image entirely, unable to escape it and take on new meaning.

Fishbowl
Fishbowl, 2023, 16 x 20 in. acrylic on canvas.
$250
This piece was created to raise awareness on the harmful practices in place to produce goldfish, a common American pet and decoration. Goldfish are forced to mate by being rubbed together, and when they have grown big enough to ship to pet stores and carnivals they are squeezed forcefully by human hands, the ones surviving the squeeze passing quality control, while the others are discarded. This process is cruel, but our busy, capitalistic lives callous us, causing us to forget what really matters and forfeiting our duties to care for all living things.

Do You Ever Feel Like A Plastic Bag
Do You Ever Feel Like A Plastic Bag, 2024, 48 x 24 in. oil and acrylic on canvas.
$380
This is the piece that began Little’s original "Do You Ever Feel Like A Plastic Bag" series, beginning as a concept of finding beauty in something as ugly and disappointing as a littered plastic bag. Little explored this concept further, playing with the plastic bags as imagery that takes on various meanings, from appreciating the mundane, to acting as an omen of a dystopian future, and even acting as a metaphor for our society’s values. The meaning behind the bags is as fluid as the bags themselves, blown around endlessly by the wind.

Cloaking Vulnerability
Cloaking Vulnerability
2023
48 x 24 in.
Acrylic on canvas
$400
“Cloaking Vulnerability” depicts a woman in a series of three poses, cloaked in shadows, only the edges of her silhouette visible through colored lights reflecting off her skin. Her poses tell a story of trauma, beginning in an open and vulnerable position, unafraid to face the world, to start a new journey, to just be. Throughout her journey, the woman becomes more closed off, she gains new fears and insecurities, drawing inward on herself. In the end, she begins to understand the balance that she must reach between complete vulnerability and self-preservation, leading her to experiment with where she must draw the lines, as we all must do.
