Emily Hartley Skudder
Emily Hartley Skudder is a visual artist based in Poneke/Wellington. Her practice ruminates on the domestic and the everyday. There’s this reference to nostalgia, but it is a subversion of reality. As of late, Hartley Skudder has been thinking about the construction of gender and the spaces that have been gendered - like bathrooms.
Hartley Skudder completed her BFA (First Class) in 2012 and since then has amassed a number of group and solo shows around the world. In 2018, she went to China as part of the artist exchange programme. She recently was commissioned to make an installation at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery as part of Additions + Alterations (2020), and had a solo show, Petting Aggression at the Dowse Art Museum (2020).
