Emelie Robertson’s new works on paper reference the landscape, both as a literal place as well as a perception of a place through memory.  Within these works, the painted surface becomes a threshold for movement and observation, where perception entangles with intuition, recollection, and material. Like walking through a forest and like memory itself, the paintings are in a constant negotiation between proximity and distance, perception and expression, stillness and movement. Our looking therefore highlights how we move, see and feel in the landscapes in which we inhabit. It is a moving experience.
