In this episode I visit Emily Hartley-Skudder at her residency at the Francis Hodgkins Fellowship in Otēpoti at the University of Otago.

Emily graduated from the Ilam School of Fine Arts at the University of Canterbury with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with First Class Honours in 2012. She has been the recipient of several scholarships and awards, and her work is held in numerous public and private collections including The Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, The Hocken Collection, The Stevenson Collection and The Wellington City Council Me Heke Ki Pōneke Collection and the Gardner Family Collection.

There are images of the paintings that we talk about on The Good Oil Emily Hartley-Skudder Instagram Post.

In this episode you’ll hear Emily talk about the influence of film and film sets i her practice, the important role of photography, the fertile ground that bathrooms offer her to explore, her nod to the still life painting tradition, pushing back against what is the traditional colour palette in New Zealand painting, how she considers layering of paint as sculptural and avocado coloured baths.
