In October we welcome Emily Ebbs to the Practice Studio gallery space.

Emily Ebbs is based and practising on Gadigal land. Her process based work evokes the emotional residue of memories. She focuses on the idea of the stain. The stain shows signs of something marked or discoloured that is difficult to remove where she finds it is closely linked to the idea of past events that shaped us emotionally. Emily is a finalist of the Mosman Art Prize for 2023. She also recently won the Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olly Art Centre Nancy Fairfax (AIR) award, 2022. Ebbs also won the Prix Yves Hernot painting award, 2022. 

This body of work is a more playful series that explores the simple nostalgic moments of walking home on a sunny day and letting your hand graze along the ornate iron fences. Emily has used her usual stain technique but added a more figurative element of the cast iron fences.
