Emma Salmon

Emma Salmon is an artist and costume designer of Nyikina and Celtic descent living and working on Wurundjeri land. Her work tells stories of ancestry, family, and community and is expressed through abstracted, intuitive, and memory-based processes guided by honesty and sustainability. Through her practice, she seeks catharsis and truth telling, challenging prescribed 'Australian' identities, settler-Indigenous relations and mystifications of Indigeneity. Emma was the costume designer for Three Blak Ravers (The Motherless Collective, YIRRAMBOI 2025), scenic artist for Soul of Possum (Brodie Murray, 2025) and The Whisper (Brodie Murray, 2024) and set and costume maker and designer for Poems of a Transsexual Nature (Quak Theatre, Deadly Fringe 2025). She has exhibited at 138 Gallery, Trocadero Projects and Incinerator Gallery, and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Drawing and Printmaking) from VCA.
