Emma Currie’s debut solo show ‘I’ve Missed You, But Not That Much’ is a reflection on the benefits of solitude.

Created in Melbourne’s first lockdown during the global pandemic, this series of 10 artworks considers periods of isolation as a regenerative practice, necessary for fostering the kind of insight we need to examine ourselves and society critically.

Elegantly balancing geometry with fluidity, the feminine figures in these vibrant artworks appear to relish their own company, lounging and luxuriating in quiet contemplation. 

The series reflects the artist's own relationship with burnout, and the valuable lessons learned in this period of isolation - of stillness, and of nothingness.

Attempting enjoyment in these uncertain times

A certain type of stillness

Small pleasures

All paths led to here

A chance not to relax

‘With all that is scary and isolating about life these
days, I have been surprised to have found unexpected solace in solitude.’ - 
Emma Currie. 

Super elite solitude

Second nature

Sitting quietly in a room alone

Cautiously constructed
