THE ARTIST

Etty Anderson is a multi disciplinary queer artist, with their main focus on ceramic arts. Their work plays with colour and form, building on architectural structure and histories of craft in different mediums. Sitting on the outside of the traditional education framework, Etty has a bank of knowledge from many different learned skills and experiences. Their conceptual practice pulls on the tension between art, craft, mimicry, queerness and class, dancing between the shifting chords of those traditions and histories. 

Etty also runs a roving supper club {VSS} , and is a published author of Vegan Secret Supper: Bold and Elegant Menus from a Rogue Kitchen. Etty has opened, curated and directed an artist run space in Vancouver, as well as being active as an illustrator, photographer and musician.  Etty’s home base is in Montréal. Etty is currently the Artist in Resident at Medalta, Medicine Hat, AB from September 2024 - August 2025.

YYY

YYY is the brand behind the artist’s functional practice.  Ever changing, YYY’s current work plays with coloured porcelain, pieces wheel thrown and hand built with nerikomi pattern. Each piece is unique and varies from the next. YYY focuses on clean organic forms with a strong focus on color.
