Emma Bingham is an emerging artist, based in nipaluna/Hobart. She completed a BFA with Honours at the University of Tasmania in 2021 and is currently a resident artist at Salamanca Arts Centre. 

​

Emma’s studio-based research draws on theoretical and philosophical ideas of the body as a site of inheritance, encounter, and transformation, and on the combined aspects of her life: as mother, partner and neonatal nurse. She considers how abstract form can highlight the evocative and affective capacity of process, and how the material properties of paper, cloth and wax can evoke the body, a sense of holding and the traces of touch: the ineffaceable connections and residues which are formed through encounter with other. 

Expanding from a practice of drawing and printmaking, she utilises the inherent physical and metaphorical properties of materials to create abstract objects, images and installation artworks.
