Emily April O’Neill (b. 1998 Canberra) is a printmaker currently completing a Bachelor of Visual art and Science at the Australian National University, Canberra. She works with both traditional and contemporary methods of intaglio printmaking and produces mostly small-scale etchings concerning memory and connection to place and how these can distort recounting of events from our past. Her most recent work This feels like home reflects how memories are associated with photographs and how they can be distorted and exaggerated over time using multi-plate etching and mono printing.
O’Neill is currently Art Sub-editor at Woroni Magazine where she contributes drawings to go alongside articles. She also does graphic design and marketing for the ANU Chemistry Society. |
