Troy Emery (b. 1981, Roma Queensland) is an artist based in Melbourne whose art practice encompasses sculpture, painting, and drawing. He works primarily with textiles in a sculptural practice to produce animal-like forms. Emery’s pieces can be found in various private and public collections, including The National Gallery of Victoria, The Art Bank Australia Collection, The City of Townsville Art Collection, The Goulburn Regional Art Gallery Collection, The Deakin Art Museum, and The Macquarie University Art Gallery. His artwork examines the discourse surrounding the delineation between fine arts and craft, as well as animals as both entrenched decorative motifs and tokens of ecological ruination. Troy Emery (né en 1981, Roma Queensland) est un artiste basé à Melbourne dont l'approche plastique englobe la sculpture, la peinture et le dessin.
