Anna’s work responds to the living world - a response to Gaia’s creatures, habitats and formations, often hollow with a sense or sound of what is left behind, or of what is yet to come. Fingerprint scales leave traces of human touch; both positive and negative; grasping yet sometimes nurturing. Sounds echo in internal voids. Small tentacles reach out, seeking, exploring, pleading. Most pieces fit in the human hand, small enough to be held, large enough to be noticed and easy enough to be cast aside.
Anna’s work is held in private collections across the UK and internationally.
