Individual Residencies
2018 | Emily Fong
Emily Fong’s practice investigates containment: the body as container and the container as body. She is curious about observing humanity in the inanimate by drawing from life. How can the language of objects be used in new ways to understand the embodiment of human existence? Is there a path to freedom through play? The media she uses vary from the timeless to the trashy. During Emily’s residency in Collemacchia she worked with a carnet-de-voyage technique to make drawings that helped her to shed old skin and turn her attention closely to the environment.
