Emily Mabee has created a series of exquisite small works for display in the gallery.
Most are created from woven paint, a unique method that she has been perfecting since graduating from Edith Cowan University with Honours in 2000.
She stated,
“My work manipulates the plastic qualities of acrylic paint; a flexible, translucent and reflective medium that allows me to explore the tangible reality of paintings as three-dimensional objects. Carved back and free from their ground the tendrils of paint fall, move, reflect light, create shadows and extend paint activity outside its pre-set boarders. My woven acrylic works are created to exist as both crafted objects and paintings to explore links between painting and textiles.”
