Emma Lyn Winkler’s practice navigates the intersections of collage, painting, and animation to explore the relationship between anxiety and death. Using a personal yet playful approach, her intricate paintings layer networks of imagery, while her slapstick animations combine visceral textures with chaotic conclusions. Through these works, Emma invites viewers to laugh in the face of death—or at least start a conversation about it.
Since completing her Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) in 2022, Emma has exhibited across Australia, with solo shows at Platform Arts, Brimbank Gallery, and Sauerbier House. She was selected for the 2024 SIGNAL Screen Commissions and has upcoming exhibitions at Town Hall Gallery and NRCG.
