Jemima Wyman
Jemima Wyman (born on April 24, 1977, in Sydney, Australia) is a contemporary artist who uses multiple art mediums such as photography, installation, video, and painting. In her art, she uses the visual strategies used by people in protests and in areas in conflict (i.e. masks) to explore the "the formal and psychological potentiality of camouflage and masking in reference to collective identity."

Wyman explores the concept of hiding identity while still expressing an identity as a group. This can be seen in her works like 'Combat Drag', 'Effacing Power', 'Conjuring Racial Openness' and more. She continues to use ideas of anonymity, identity, and solidarity through using different pattern forms in her art and exhibitions.
