Amelia Briggs is a visual artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Her soft sculptures and images explore interiority, memory, and transformation through plump, whimsical forms that shift between the familiar and the uncanny. Working with fiber, reclaimed materials, fabric, panel, glass, latex, and gouache, Briggs reinterprets fragments of memory and childhood objects, shaping them into sinuous forms that suggest botanical growth, bodily organs, and imagined ecosystems. Through sewing, cutting, stuffing, layering, and assembling, materials become vessels for embodied experience, absorbing and transforming personal history.

Briggs has been an artist-in-residence at Wassaic Project, Monson Arts, and the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts. In 2019, Briggs began an ongoing collaboration with renowned designer Kelly Wearstler. Vogue, Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, The New York Times, Surface, and Domino have featured this partnership. Briggs has exhibited work with Deanna Evans Projects (New York, NY), The Hole (Los Angeles, CA), Art Basel (Miami, FL), Rhett Baruch Gallery (Los Angeles, CA), Numeroventi (Florence, Italy), Boston University (Boston, MA), Bowes-Parris Gallery (London, UK), Cohle Gallery (Paris, France), The High Line (New York, NY), Platform (New York, NY), Exhibition A (New York, NY), Future Fair (New York, NY), and Barely Fair (Chicago, IL), among others. Her work has appeared in publications such as The Observer, The New York Times, Architectural Digest, Hyperallergic, Boston Art Review, Effect Magazine, Artforum, Contemporary Art Review LA, NPR, ArtMaze Magazine, New American Paintings, Maake Magazine, Create Magazine, and Burnaway. From 2017 to 2021, Briggs served as director of David Lusk Gallery, where she curated numerous exhibitions. She has also curated for SECAC and SPRING/BREAK Art Show.
