Emily Floyd

Emily Floyd (b. 1972) is a leading Australian contemporary artist, working in public art, sculpture and printmaking. Her family were toy makers in traditional European styles — carefully crafted of wood. She learned the skills and use of machinery, which are reflected and used in many of her sculptural works.

Floyd’s work is held in major public and private collections internationally, including the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Sydney, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. She has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe, and the United States. Public commissions include Knowledge Power! (Shanghai Library East, China), King Parrots (Union Station, Melbourne), and Owl of Minerva (Wesley Place, Melbourne), among others.
