Brynn Elysia is a multidisciplinary artist living and working on unceded Wallumedegal land. Informed by ongoing research into sociological phenomena, she creates constructed realities in order to abstract and question our assumed social behaviours.

Her satirical series 'UnHoly Cherry' explores a fabricated reality in which virginity actually exists in a physical form. Through this series she investigates how social constructions of sexuality govern how we use our bodies, challenging exclusionary social rules to instead prioritise pleasure and bodily autonomy. Brynn is currently interested in critiquing our current sexual education system, exploring a more inclusive approach to sexuality.
