Emma Repp makes heavily patterned and colorful two-dimensional pieces that visually demonstrate a state of incessant overwhelm, and the beauty that comes with it. These imagined spaces she creates always contain a lonely female figure- sometimes they have adapted to the space they inhabit, and sometimes the space overwhelms them. The interaction the figures have with their surroundings give the work a duality, as their mood often doesn't match the vibrancy of what is around them or on them. The duality feeds an overwhelming theme of boredom and adaptation despite circumstances.
