Bodies of Work

Anna develops her work as developing bodies of work that begin with hand-cut, sewn, and felted sculpture made from unspun sheep's wool. Recast in bronze and lead crystal, the same forms enter into conversation with the classical traditions of sculpture. She photographs them to create macro portraits of these singular part organ, part feeling forms, stretching and teetering as they defy gravity. The sculptures continue their transformation as projected light, expanding into immersive environments where architecture and moving bodies become materials of the work.

Each stage is both an archive of the previous one and the beginning of the next. 

Sculpture actively reaches beyond the outline of an object. It actively engages an expanding relationship between material, light, space, and bodies. She comes to this understanding of sculpture from her experience of motherhood, where making is less about controlling form than creating the conditions for transformation and connection.
