{"title":"Emma Coulter","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEmma Coulter has created her own colour-based abstract language which she applies across painting, sculpture, site-specific installation and public art disciplines. Through her work, she explores ideas that relate to the history of art, painting, minimalism, architecture and abstraction. Concepts of memory, time and feeling are intertwined with formal concerns of composition, perception and reduction. Spatial propositions synthesise contextual ideas as tools to reorganise meaning.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCoulter’s major public commissions include works for Yarrila Place, Coffs Harbour (2023); City Square, Melbourne (2021); Footscray Community Arts Centre (2021); and QUT Art Museum, Brisbane (2021).
