Emmi Whitehorse: ‘Landscape was what I knew best. My backyard.’
Emmi grew up near Chaco Canyon – a major archaeological site in New Mexico that served as the centre of the Ancestral Puebloan civilisation and acted as a nexus linking Indigenous communities across the American Southwest.
Her early encounters with archaeological and natural phenomena are distilled into her paintings, in which a distinctive symbology emerges, functioning to register both the minute flurries of life and the vast cosmological and seasonal cycles.
Emmi Whitehorse’s exhibition is on view at White Cube Paris until 8 October 2025.
