Emma White is an emerging Toronto-based artist whose paintings often consist of landscapes or images of nature, whether it be a grand vista or a small roadside shrub. Her process begins by creating collages from a large collection of her own printed photographs, which become her painting references. These collages are fabricated scenes that act as portals to her thoughts and emotions, reflecting a situation or relationship that is meaningful to White. The scenes are ambiguous and confusing, depicting the nature of complex feelings swirling in one’s mind. In each painting, she attempts to communicate a feeling or essence rather than a set of events.
