Just a little tussle
Emma Velde
My recent artwork explores the domestic realities of motherhood and the evolving relationships with my two sons as they approach adolescence. Building on my previous exhibition Yield, this personal, small-scale work focuses on the fleeting, everyday rituals of family life—from physical closeness to growing independence. By transforming memories, photographs, and observations into paintings that balance figuration and abstraction, I capture emotional states and subtle shifts in connection that are often overlooked.
