La stampa di Jemma Gunning→
Drawing is the foundation of Jemma Gunning’s→ practice.Jemma primarily uses intaglio and lithography to convey the profound connection between artistic expression and our environment. Her prints, though initially appearing somber, unfold as visual interpretations of decay within post-industrial landscapes. Yet, a closer examination reveals a narrative of life reemerging in the ruins, as nature resiliently reclaims desolate wastelands, giving rise to new ecosystems.
In Jemma’s ongoing artistic evolution, she is drawn to monumental landscapes, particularly mountains, seeking to capture their imposing force and inherent beauty. This new exploration signifies a subtle shift in focus, hinting at her fascination with changing landscapes and the dynamic interplay between humanity and nature. Through her work, Jemma offers viewers a poignant glimpse into our fading heritage and a reflection on the enduring vitality found amidst decay. Each piece serves as a testament to the impermanence of our cultural past and the ever-changing tapestry of life that shapes our collective narrative
