Amanda Emmett
world in transition and the fragility of our environment are issues explored by Cairns-based artist Amanda Emmett. Through her beautifully detailed paintings, Emmett encourages us to consider positive actions we can take that will lead to remedy and renewal of our world before it is all too late.
Emmett’s beautifully detailed paintings focus on life forms that are barely surviving the threats that human increasingly pose to them.
Insatiable Armada reflects on the ravenous devouring of Great Barrier Reef coral by the Crown of Thorns starfish, while Yearning for Bees is a commentary on the effects of pesticides and increasingly compromised levels of fertility in humans.
I am mostly inspired by nature and experiences and try to convey how being in a certain environment makes us feel, the dilemmas, disturbing truths, and repercussions of the choices we make in our social behaviour, what we consume, and the pollution we create.
