Frida
Anna’s practice is informed by the dynamic between personal and cultural myths. She explores how our private narratives are deeply rooted in ancient storytelling and folklore and conversely how folklore has the ability to tell us intimate, confidential stories about ourselves. In her work she synthesises female mythic characters and retell their stories while placing them in the current climate. By doing so Anna creates an experience of eeriness, evoking a sense of both familiarity and distress. Anna’s main medium of work is wearable sculpture and performance. She makes hand-made carpet textiles which she transforms into wearable sculptures. The sculpture functions as both a masquerade and independent sculpture.
