SHE IS APPLES
Emma Hercus highlights the strength and everyday spirit of the women of Aotearoa. Her paintings draw on small moments that hold meaning - like appreciating the intricate patterns of a moth, the rush of spring rain, or the bonds of friendship and family. The figures feel familiar, like people we might know or remember from our own lives. With a folkloric naivety and dreamlike quality, Hercus uses layers of pigments and bold brushstrokes to build scenes that read as fragments of memory - quiet tales that many of us can recognise.
