Hettie Inniss (b. 1999, Hackney, London) is a London-based artist whose work explores the fluid and shifting nature of identity through the lens of memory. A graduate of the University of Leeds with a BA (Hons) in Art and Design (2022), she is currently completing her MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art (2022–2023). During her time at RCA, Inniss was awarded the Sir Frank Bowling Scholarship (2022) and the ColArt Windsor & Newton Bursary (2023). Inniss’s practice takes a Proustian approach, drawing from involuntary memories to investigate how sensory experiences shape our understanding of self. Through both figuration and abstraction, her paintings embrace ambiguity, using the materiality of paint to reflect the slipperiness of identity and the instability of memory. Her work advocates for “Black Fluidity” as a liberating, non-binary approach to representation—one that invites viewers into a space of openness, where meaning is never fixed but always in motion. Her paintings are held in several private collections.
