About Me

About Me

My name is Emily Van Ryn and I'm a first year at the University of British Columbia studying within the faculty of arts. I'm particularly interested in visual art, art history, sociology, and gender/sex/race studies.

I'm a 4th wave feminist and conceptual artist interested in how women experience 'negative' emotions such as anger, shame, and jealousy.

I am interested in exploring gender and sexuality. I draw symbolism from Jungian dream interpretation as well as my own personal experiences and associations with objects, colors, and concepts.

I am interested in coming-of-age stories and what it means to be seen.
