Elephant Magazine recently published a feature on Emma Kohlmann. Here, Kohlmann talks about her inspiration, artistic process and reflects on her unconventional career path.
"Kohlmann’s career path didn’t follow the typical Fine Art-Major-to-Ivy-League-MFA-to-Elite-gallery-representation playbook. She credits her success to the connections she’s made along her own way, though not the kind built on name-dropping or nepotism. “Networking isn’t really how I’d put it…cause I’m really like grossed out by that,” she told me. “You just have to be a good friend.”
Some of these pivotal friendships emerged from what Kohlmann calls the “DIY punk scene,” or the soft-grunge, pre-influencer, Tumblr era of the mid-2010s, when the internet felt more like a place to connect than to project. In these glory days, Kohlmann was decently active on Instagram, very active on Tumblr, but her career really started with zines."
