Emma Bellerby
BA (Hons) Fine Art
During university, my focus has been on representing internal identities with visual imagery, particularly with a focus on disabled and LGBT+ identities. These marginalised voices are often underrepresented in popular culture, and I want to contribute to the normalisation of these identities. I have achieved this through a combination of curating online exhibitions, exploring the history of marginalization with a view to intersectionality and completing commissions for clients.
All of this was achieved during the pandemic, resulting in my independent motivation skills, adaptability, and communication skills being thoroughly tested. I found that I excelled in project leadership roles, which was an unexpected development for me and I would relish the opportunity to explore this further.
