Infatuated with colour and craft, Emmica Lore creates from a place somewhere between sincerity and irony. She is based in Naarm/Melbourne, living on unceded Wurundjeri land. Emmica’s practice plays with ideas of disobedience, status and containment. Her sculptures use kitsch and absurdism to poke fun at systems that govern behaviour and taste. Emmica’s work looks at the arbitrary nature of status and the ways society assigns (and then reassigns) value to objects, behaviours and symbols. She’s also super into shiny things.
