Emily Carriere resides in Toronto, where she works as
an artist. She creates intricate cut-out vinyl and acrylic
artworks. She works intuitively, letting the process
take over, which allows the work to reveal itself
through the natural progression of experimentation.
The results are abstract images which can be
interpreted an endless variety of ways depending on
the viewer's experiences, memories and history.
BLURRED LINES
By Emily Carriere
Artist Statement
A blurred abstract watercolour painting serves as the background,
highlighting sections of the brain and the moments and memories that make
us who we are. A growth of iridescent petals, the projection we show the
world, casts colourful shadows in its wake. We are multifaceted. We are the
idea, the image, and the shadow it casts; the impression it leaves in the mind.
When the shadow fades and flickers, what remains of who we are?
