MY PROCESS

Welcome to 4me4you's recent exploration off the captivating realm of artistry showcased at the Niru Ratnam Gallery, featuring the works of the talented artist, Emma Cousin.

In Emma Cousin's latest series of artworks, viewers are invited to delve into a world where figures encounter the intricacies of tunnel vision, oscillating between the allure and challenges it presents. In pieces such as 'Gnawsea' (2022) and 'UTR' (2022-23), Cousin's figures undergo a transformation, discovering a new perspective that unveils uncharted territories of perception.

– ‘TUNNEL VISION’ –

Within these canvases, figures are depicted with eyes morphed into tunnels and mouths opening to reveal passages, symbolising a journey into the depths of visual exploration.

Cousin draws inspiration from the animated chaos of ‘Road Runner,’ where the comedic antics of Wile E. Coyote navigating a painted tunnel mirror the complexities of tunnel vision.

Through her paintings, Cousin captures the essence of this phenomenon, where focus on the immediate can often obscure the broader reality.

Delving further into Cousin’s artistic narrative, we find a reflection of personal experience intertwined with universal themes. Her exploration of the body as a network of tunnels, influenced by her pregnancy, offers a profound introspection into the human form. Works like ‘Tsog’ (2023) unveil the intricate interplay between exterior and interior, inviting viewers to ponder the depths within.

Join us as we embark on a visual odyssey through Emma Cousin’s evocative creations, where tunnel vision becomes a gateway to new perspectives and introspective contemplation.
