About

Emma Pattenden is an artist and designer based in Naarm (Melbourne), Australia. Her practice involves a multi-disciplinary approach through drawing, painting and sculpture that is intricate, methodical and often meditative. Her artworks centre around landscape, memory and the embodied experience while honouring the importance of the analogue processes.

​

Emma’s clarity to express how space has dimensions and time can be attributed to her technical background which lies in architecture. Her work invites a reaction within the viewer to evaluate relationships with and within the landscape, to engender a sense of responsibility to our natural world.

‘My artistic output continues to work with registering experiences felt in places that have had a profound effect on me. It is an expression of my conscious and subconscious mind, be allowing my senses to activate and relax to become a part of a place. The lines, colours shapes and forms that come through my hand, are instilled with the movement, smell, texture, and taste of the experience.’
