Melbourne ceramic artist Emma Parker presents The Space in Between: a group of figurative sculptures that reflect common experience. Parker's work seeks to elevate the mundane and spark awareness of the preciousness of fleeting moments.
"I find the act of 'people watching' totally engrossing. A 40-minute journey on the metro, now a task in distancing, can provide the perfect opportunity to observe people. The hour of the day and their age and dress might indicate that they are heading to work, or to school, or the gym. But what is their story? They are absorbed by their devices or engrossed in thoughts and assume anonymity, that they are alone despite being surrounded. This is their time to think, consolidate and adjust to the day ahead. My observations of commuters celebrate the time in between what we call 'living'. Everyone is waiting to arrive somewhere. The necessary travel time, the precious uncounted minutes.
At the time the work was conceived (October 2020, Melbourne) the thought of a peak hour train rammed with passengers was a concerning thought. Over a year later I still wonder when we will all be comfortably shoulder to shoulder once more."
