Ainslie Murray is an interdisciplinary artist, architect and academic based in the Architecture Discipline in the Faculty of the Built Environment at the UNSW.

Her work explores the augmentation of architectural space through subtle realisations of forgotten and intangible spatial forces. The atmosphere and its relation to architecture and the moving body are areas of special interest which have focussed her practice-led research for over 10 years. Ainslie’s work ranges from large-scale immersive installations to film, painting, textiles and artist books and is equally at home in galleries, public spaces and educational environments. She frequently collaborates with researchers in diverse fields to bring built environment perspectives to broad audiences.

Ainslie was awarded her PhD in Visual Arts from Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney, in 2011. She has lived in London and Munich and is now based in Sydney. Her work has been exhibited throughout Australia and internationally in Canada, China, Denmark, Japan and the UK.
