Emily Imeson’s practice is rooted in ecological observation, focusing on the intersection of landscape, experience, and materiality. Her exhibition Forests of care and other studies takes its cue from the juxtaposed landscapes of the protected Forest of Fontainebleau, France, and the early stages of the regenerated farmland of her home in the Northern Rivers. The artist has dedicated herself to repeated engagement with these two landscapes, translating her encounters into tender painting and textile works that reflect a deeply personal and site-specific response. Through this exhibition, Imeson asks how we can create restorative narratives through embodied acts of learning and care.
