Em Frank is a multidisciplinary artist currently based on Kaurna Yarta. At its core, Em’s practice is motivated by the collaborative and community building aspects of art making, along with a compulsion to tinker and play. Working in ceramics as my primary medium, Em’s practice extends across drawing, painting, mixed media and assemblage, with a proclivity for discarded and broken materials.
Currently undertaking the Jam Factory Ceramics Associateship, Em is also working with Ku Arts as a project manager, teaching ceramics at Adelaide College of the Arts, and facilitating remote art projects with Tjanpi Desert Weavers in the APY Lands.
