Emma Tod – Blue shift

“Emma Tod’s paintings might be described as an antidote to the digital experience, giving us back a sense of what we scroll past: time. Yet her work also embraces its aesthetic, each painterly swatch a paean to high saturation and luminous intensity. …A sense of entanglement runs throughout Tod’s practice, which draws on quantum physics and feminist theory to reimagine our relationship to images, time and the material world. The titles of the paintings offer further clues: scientific and ecological references anchoring the works within broader networks of knowledge” Rebecca Geldard 2025
