The biennial EMERGING art award supports early-career artists to develop and exhibit a new or existing body of work. This year, the gallery has selected six artists based in Sydney and the Hunter region: Remy Faint, Alexandra Jonscher, Lihnida Krstanska-Blazeska, NC Qin, Monica Rani Rudhar, and James Rhodes, whose work spans recycled glass, ceramic, fibres, photography, time-based media, and installation practices.
Judged by Artspace Sydney’s curator Talia Linz, Monica Rani Rudhar was announced on 3 February at Gosford Regional Gallery, as the winner of EMERGING 2023 for her pieces Hoops That Once Belonged To My Mother and Drop Earrings That Once Belonged To My Mother.
