Jemma Cakebread

Jemma Cakebread is a Melbourne-based artist working in the fields of painting, textiles and fibre. Her work reflects an interest in the workings of the body, both animal and human, death and decay, and the natural world. 

Painting is Jemma's first love and her painting practice informs all areas of her work. Chasing a form of exaggerated realism that represents how she sees the world, she paints what intrigues her, whether it be the fleshiness of a stomach or the dome of a skull.
