Emilee Robinson (b. 2000) is an expanded printmedia artist, living and working on unceded Gadigal land.
Her work explores themes of nostalgic affect, the loss of childhood, and the narrative life of loved objects.
Emilee’s work occupies a field in post-freudian and anthropological theory, with an interest in preserving and reviving the past. Hovering between the presence and absence of memory, overarching themes include loss, attachment and sentimentality and an investigation into “growing-up” as an irreversible force. Nostalgic symbols occupy a majority of Robinson’s practice, providing insights into objects that create portals into an inaccessible time. Her work further explores the integration of new materials into the print matrix and techniques that transcend an established visual language in the discipline’s rich history.
Emilee is currently studying her Master of Fine Art at the National Art School.
I acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, on whose land I work, and pay my respects to their culture and continued connection to land and community. I extend that respect to Elders both past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded - always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
