Gemmy began creating work that exists somewhere in-between painting and photography.
The lighting has become an aesthetic that layers velvet colors across a canvas of deep shadow and glinting highlights- to create an image full of shadow and light with a beautiful stillness in-between.
Led by her intuition and an obsession to create; as if she was moving liquid pigments on a canvas, For Gemmy, each detail is lovingly obsessed over and refined- from the backdrops that she generally paints herself to the costumes, set building, styling, and post-production.
Gemmy’s artworks become a depiction of real things not entirely grounded in reality. Each of her painterly photographs expresses a beautiful stillness, a stillness existing between awake and asleep.
