Textures of Time is a body of work combining drawing and watercolour to create a body of work that focuses on the landforms and landscapes from The Grampians and Mt Kosciusko national parks.
The artworks layer different colours and mark making patterns to present the shifts in light and form in different moments and places. Mirroring the ever-changing aspects of the natural world and the ongoing transformations across various temporal scales.
Artist Bio
Emma Pattenden is a female visual artist residing in Naarm. Over the past 4 years she has practised as an artist part time creating intricate, methodical and contemplative art that delves into themes of landscape, memory and the embodied experience.
Emma’s clarity to express how space has dimensions and time can be attributed to her technical background in architecture. The ability to translate these skills into art sees the creation of ethereal work that is detailed and delicate. It invites the viewer to explore the work and evoke their own memories of landscape and evaluate their own relationship with the landscape.
Emma’s practice continues to work with the embodied experience felt in places.
“The lines, colours shapes and forms that come through my hand are instilled with the movement, smell, texture, and taste of an experience.”
Throughout Emma’s career her work has been exhibited across galleries in Sydney and Melbourne, including Red Gallery, the Agendo Art Prize, Brunswick Street Gallery, Alternating Current Art Space and The Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing in which she was awarded the Peoples Choice Award. More recently Emma was awarded the Judges Special Commendation in Art Edit’s Self-Represented Artist Award.
