Artist Bio :
Anna Mary Billany (b. 2001, They/Them) is a visual artist, technician and facilitator based in PINK, Stockport and FACT Liverpool. They are co-director of Caterpillar Press Worker’s Cooperative, a teacher of art in the justice system and a guest speaker at higher educational institutions.
They are currently studying at University of the Arts London, Central Saint Martins on the MA Fine Art (Digital) course as supported by the UAL Postgraduate Scholarship.
Anna’s research spans new media, self-publishing, and technofeminist inquiry. Their practice explores the unstable boundaries of identity in digital and embodied space, drawing on experiences of masking, dissociation, and the figure of the doppelgänger as both survival strategy and speculative tool. Avatars and world-building are used to create imagined realms that resemble their post-war hometown Washington, Tyne and Wear.
They studied at Sunderland University (Foundation in Art and Design) and Manchester School of Art (BA Hons Illustration with Animation).
Anna is currently funded by Arts Council England through National Lottery Project Grants: R&D Funding on their project - Building Adaptive Worlds: Queer, Disabled Approaches to Digital Scenography
