With evocative brushstrokes and luminous colour, Emma Stuart captures the liminal shift between light and shade, between what is revealed and what is hidden; between the point of focus and distorted peripheries. Her painting technique is precise yet free as she confidently depicts the places that she knows well.
Emma Stuart paints the Australian landscape from the experience of bush walking to capture the sensation of being on country, illustrating the joy of being in nature and its inherently nurturing qualities.
Embedded in Emma’s artworks is a deep respect for country and the acknowledgment of First Nations peoples, an understanding that comes from bush walking and living in many regions and communities & the loaded histories that linger on country throughout Australia.
WALKING BAINGGUG is on until the 9th of November.
