Bio

Emma Pinsent is an artist living and working between Arakwal and Gadigal lands in so-called Australia. Spanning sculpture, drawing, painting and installation, her practice is concerned with the afterlife and transformation of waste, often using materials like paper pulp, plant pigments and found objects to explore the entangled relations between the human and more-than-human. In 2019 she completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) at UNSW: Art & Design, and in 2022 began a PhD (Art & Design) at the same institution supported by the Australian Government RTP Scholarship. She has exhibited in Meanjin (Brisbane), Lutruwita (Tasmania), across Gadigal land (Sydney) in both commercial and public spaces, and has been a finalist in a number of awards.
