EMMA MCPIKE

Emma McPike makes suburbia shimmer, mirage-like. Her hand-worked prints and drawings seek out the weakest spots in the soft armour of nostalgia, cutting haze with a hard line. Emma received an Honours degree in Art from Curtin University in 2009. In 2010 she undertook a collaborative residency at Canberra's Megalo Print Studio with Trevor Bly and has recently exhibited in Jordan (Sentences on the Banks and other Activities, curated by Abdellah Karroum, 2010) and locally, at Gallery Central (Wallpaper, 2010, with Trevor Bly), Fremantle Art Centre (Home Open, 2010) and in the City of Joondalup Art Award (2010).
