Emerging artist Emma Singer was selected as one of the finalists of the Ellen Jose Art Award for young women in 2021. Alongside five other finalists across Australia, she was invited to create a major work for the finalist exhibition. Emma decided to create a large-scale panel painting across 366x305cm, celebrating the storylines passed on through her family. The work was acquired by Artbank upon conclusion of the show.
"My artwork holds the memories of my aunties, my mother, and grandmother, all the women that have taught me about country, and about our culture. When I paint I remember all those women and their words keep me strong. I don’t paint one specific storyline or site, but rather the many paths and journeys taken by my people, always following our storylines and movements of country." - Emma Singer, 2022
