These works ask for time, space, and attention.
Large-scale collage works exploring intimacy, memory, and devotion to feeling.
recent exhibition:
kiss me good luck*
the exhibit ran from July 14-20, 2025
Kiss Me Good Luck unfolded as a meditation on closeness — the moments we stay, the moments we almost do, and the quiet negotiations between tenderness and restraint.
The exhibition was presented in two collections, each tracing a different emotional register of intimacy: surrender, hesitation, devotion, and release.
Emaulé’s practice centers large-scale collage as a site of emotional architecture — assembling fragments of image, text, and memory into works that ask for slowness, space, and sustained attention.
Themes of love, longing, and relational memory recur throughout the work, not as sentiment, but as structure: how intimacy is built, tested, and held over time.
Each piece is created with placement in mind, allowing the work to exist not only as an image, but as an atmosphere within a space.
About Emaule Studios.
Emaulé Studios is run by Emani Lemon (they/them), a multidisciplinary artist and sentimental maximalist, known for transforming memory into material. Through collage, text, and tactile storytelling, they explore themes of love, grief, intimacy, and emotional residue — often using found imagery and fragments of the past to reassemble something honest, raw, and entirely their own.
Their work doesn't just tell stories — it remembers them. Carefully. Quietly. Sometimes out loud.
Rooted in vulnerability, Emani’s pieces invite the viewer to reflect on what lingers: the text you didn’t send, the version of yourself you thought you outgrew, the kind of care you’ve always deserved.
Born and based in Toronto, Emani’s art lives at the intersection of tenderness and confrontation — asking not just what we’ve survived, but what we’re still carrying.
Emaulé is more than just a collage practice — it’s a creative studio that also offers set design and curatorial work across the city.
