Emilee Robinson (b. 2000) is an expanded printmedia artist, living and working on unceded Gadigal land.
Emilee’s practice explores the psychic architecture of memory - its fragility, unreliability, and tendency to blur the boundary between past and present.
Her process operates as a form of self-archaeology, attempting to preserve and return to a past worn away by time. Childhood functions as both material and metaphor, held as a temporal space that is continually revised and mourned. Archival ephemera - withered images, toys, fragments - become a way to negotiate with time, creating work suspended between preservation and loss.
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.
