Anna has been exhibiting regularly since 1997 including exhibitions in Italy & Spain
My practice makes use of discarded materials imbued with history and memory. Recent works speak of the evolution of memory as assemblages of human consumption. Most of my works reflect the transformation of fragments of the past into pieces of the present, converging once loved domestic artefacts, through a process of alchemy. The dominant material I use is Linoleum, I am drawn to its historical décor, how human movement imparts impressions upon its surface, leaving yet another level of memory. Pianola rolls are used for their perforations, alluding to binary coding or ancient mystical scribing. These can suggest technological development and the impact of various rays penetrating our air-spaces or texts written in light words which interpret magic. The thematic concepts in my works reflect contemporary issues such as climate change, socio-political concerns and the impact we are making on the environment.
