Amy Daisy Sawyer is a multidisciplinary artist from Edinburgh, Scotland whose work explores notions of womanhood and female identity. She makes work that combines “serious”, male- dominated mediums like new technologies, painting and sculpture with “silly” female-relegated tropes and elements like pink, dolls, romance novels, and other non-canon media. By challenging ideals of classicism and “The Male Gaze” Amy attempts to take the object/muse and reposition her as autonomous. Her desire is to build a surreal, unnerving, femme-visible world which is both beautiful and grotesque and utterly unapologetic.

Amy is from Edinburgh, Scotland and currently living on the unceded and ancestral territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil- Waututh Nations where she is working towards an Master of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada. She also holds an MA in Contemporary Art Practice from Edinburgh College of Art, Edinburgh, Scotland and a BA with honours in Film and Media from Queen Margaret University, Musselburgh, Scotland.
