Emalie Bingham

(b 1987, United Kingdom. Lives and works in Wadhurst)

For Bingham; drawing provides both refuge and stimulation. This paradox is central to her creative process; which stems equally from her struggle against limitation and her desire to realise her potential. She employs a diverse range of media and an extensive colour palette in her painting; drawing; collage; sculpture; printmaking and installations; however; drawing has always been central to her work. Of her creative process; she says: “It's a daily ritual of coming to terms with brokenness; and the outworking of extreme frustration. But it is also an expression of defiance; of passionate desire; and urgent vision.””‹
