Emily Innes is a multidisciplinary artist working out of the Sheridan College Glass studio. A defining aspect of Innes’s artistic expression lies in her thematic focus. She draws inspiration from feminist theory and literature, with a particular emphasis on second-wave feminists, notably Andrea Dworkin. Her engagement with feminist theory provides a conceptual framework that not only informs the content of her work but also guides her choice of materials and techniques, pushing her to move beyond the confines of glass, and delve into textiles, metals, and various other mediums, creating a body of work that reflects her evolution as an artist.
In her studies at Sheridan College, Innes is not only refining her technical skills but also nurturing a unique artistic voice that resonates with contemporary discourses. The intersection of her academic pursuits and thematic focus lays the groundwork for her future artistic practice, where she is poised to contribute thought-provoking and visually compelling narratives to the world of contemporary art and feminist discourse.
