Emma Coulter responds to the landmark architecture and space of the Shepparton Art Museum through a new site-specific art wall commission titled spatial deconstruction #30 (social fabric).

Drawing upon the idea of SAM being both an ‘art container’ and communal space for social interaction, Coulter responds to architectural elements of the building’s components. This multicoloured intervention wraps the art wall in a new sculptural form. Coulter intuitively deconstructs the feelings and elements of the architectural envelope and reconfigures them through the lens of her practice, creating a composition that is both uniquely hers and a distinct reflection upon the vertical geometry of the SAM Building. Her work, spatial deconstruction #30 (social fabric), marks the 30th in her series of spatial deconstruction works that she has been developing for the last decade.
