About Emmaline
As a multidisciplinary painter and sculptor, Emmaline’s practice explores the intersections of place, memory, and human connection. Working with collage, drawing and painting, she creates layered works that map lived experience through personal photographs, reflective journaling and fragments of landscape. Her recent work explores encaustic painting, where molten wax and pigment create luminous surfaces that hold and preserve imagery. Developed during time spent in Vancouver, Canada, her series Learning to Fly reflects on how travel, memory and environment shape personal identity and creative awakening. Influenced by the montage practices of Hannah Höch, the spiritual abstraction of Hilma af Klint, and Homi K. Bhabha’s concept of the “Third Space,” where meaning emerges between cultures and perspectives, her artworks become small maps of connection; where memory meets shared experience.
About Emmaline’s Creative Workshops
In this exciting workshop, the focus is on mapping place, memory, and the subtle connections that shape our lives through the luminous and tactile process of encaustic painting. Emmaline will guide participants through the process of creating their own layered collage artwork on board that will be sealed in encaustic wax. You are invited to bring photocopies of personal photos, while drawing and imagery are further inspired by the surrounding landscape that influence our sense of belonging. The session is a welcoming space for creative exploration, conversation and community connection, where art becomes a way of seeing ourselves, each other, and the places we inhabit with fresh awareness.
