About the Artist
Amelia Briggs is an NYC-based multidisciplinary fiber, painting, and installation artist. She received her BFA from Indiana University in 2009 and her MFA from the University of Memphis in 2015. Briggs has shown with platforms and galleries internationally, including Art Basel with LVMH in Miami, FL; Boston University in Boston, MA; Bowes-Parris Gallery in London, UK; Cohle Gallery in Paris, France; Exhibition A in New York, NY; Glass Rice Rice in San Francisco, CA; The Hole in Los Angeles, CA; Platform in New York, NY; and, most recently, Future Fair in New York, NY. In 2019, Briggs began constructing mirrors from reclaimed materials, using bedsheets, fiber, and thin coats of latex. Incorporating them into her lush installations, Briggs posted images online, which caught the eye of renowned Los Angeles-based designer Kelly Wearstler. This instigated a collaboration that continues today. This partnership has been featured in publications including Vogue, Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, The New York Times, Surface, and Domino.
