Emma Finneran is a Sydney-based artist who recently completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney. Her practice utilises the pre-loved dropsheet and the incidental markings borne of its prescribed life as the inherent beginnings of brand new compositions. Emma has been an Artist in Residence at Sydney Guild, Sydney where she also presented her first solo exhibition in March, 2014 as their representative for Art Month Sydney, 2014. She is currently Artist in Residence at Firstdraft, Sydney, and is actively engaged in participatory and production capacities in the practices of other Sydney-based artists including Hossein Ghaemi and Justene Williams.
