Vestiges is the first solo exhibition by emerging Northern Rivers artist Emily-Sarah Boldeman. Her practice comprises films, automatic drawings and objects – each a remnant of unpredictable processes and performances. Through spontaneous and often repetitive marks and erasures, she creates a dialogue between emergence and disappearance. Some pieces evoke alchemical transformations, suggesting the cindery process of change. Ballet, saturated with femininity, beauty and pain is a recurrent motif. Boldeman’s work explores the disorganised female body, control, chaos and transformation.

This exhibition is the outcome of the Tweed Regional Gallery – Byron School of Art (BSA) 3rd Year Graduate Award, 2023. A Tweed Regional Gallery initiative.
