Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre
Emily-Sarah Boldeman
Vestiges
Vestiges is the first solo exhibition by emerging Northern Rivers artist Emily-Sarah Boldeman. Her practice comprises films, automatic drawings and objects – each a remnant of unpredictable processes and performances. Through spontaneous, often repetitive, marks and erasures, she creates a dialogue between emergence and disappearance. Some pieces evoke alchemical transformations, suggesting the cindery process of change.
Ballet, saturated with femininity, beauty and pain is a recurrent motif. Boldeman’s work explores the disorganised female body, control, chaos and transformation.
This exhibition is the outcome of the Tweed Regional Gallery – Byron School of Art (BSA) 3rd Year Graduate Award, 2023.
A Tweed Regional Gallery initiative.
