Dr Emma Rochester is an Australian/Italian fine artist and researcher working between material practice, embodied scholarship and regenerative thinking. Holding a PhD in Fine Art, her practice spans ceramics, fibre, video, drawing and spatial installation, with research grounded in auto-ethnography, perceptual awareness and sensual aesthetics.

Based in Western Australia and engaged with European contexts, including Italy, her work explores the relationship between inner awareness, material transformation and cultural memory.

This portfolio functions as a bridge between field-based research, academic inquiry and resolved professional works.
