Overview

Central to Ehmer's practice are themes of discardment, repair, and recovery, explored through processes that evoke both care and damage. Clinical aesthetics and material transformations situate the work within a space where bodily experience and institutional commentary overlap, raising questions of vulnerability, control, and preservation. Viewer engagement plays a key role, often incorporating participatory or time-based elements that unfold through interaction or observation, implicating audiences in processes that may elicit discomfort, curiosity, or hesitation.
