Emma Ainsley
Profile/CV
An artist based in Orkney. My practice explores being alive, embodied and gendered. Through my work I seek meaningful ways to inhabit the world, discovering meanings in the spaces in between things, people and places. I seek to make sense of things. I celebrate my fluid and shifting identity as a woman and maintain a dancing on the boundaries, a making and re-making of identity. Embracing the weight of being with a light heart, playfulness threads through my work, with references to childhood games, dressing-up and pretending. I studied at Chelsea College of Art and Design 1994-98.
