Emma Labattaglia finds personal freedom in going back to her roots as an abstract painter after a successful illustration career and mother raising small children. Labattaglia works in small collages to intuitively find a freer, childlike mentality that is unrestrained or concerned for how her work will be judged. Expressing her sense of humour through the titles of her works, Labattaglia’s voice is represented in a semi rebellious ownership of her time as an artist and the personal struggles she has faced with fitting into the conformities of a synthetic world.
