Emiko Artemis is a visual artist who works across a variety of media. Based in South Australia, Emiko uses costumes and masking to create immersive environments, drawing from theoretical concepts and their own personal experience. These question our place in today’s fast paced world. With an interest in ideas of mysticism, story telling and ritualism, they often use the natural world to create narrations of disorder and unease. Additionally, they are constantly utilising theories of phenomenology and is motivated by the exploration of the liminal space of interior and exterior worlds.

Emiko’s practice is informed by a strong feminist philosophy and in their work, they aim to balance theoretical ideas with a sense of beauty, wonder and emotional engagement from the viewer.

Whilst screen-based mediums are Emiko’s main public practice, they work across medium at all stages of project development and has incorporated drawing, printmaking, installation, sculpture, text and sound into their practice.

Emiko also works with individuals and communities to enact positive transformation and personal empowerment. They are a firm believer that art can be created by anyone, and discards the idea that one needs a specific skillset in order to create. Their long art practice history is a testament to this, and they are constantly creating in their own free time.

Emiko currently works from their studio space at Fleurieu Arthouse in Maclaren Vale, South Australia.
