During Anna’s previous career as a psychologist, she became fascinated by the rhythm of the life/death/life cycle as a way to understand the natural course of change from within.
The instinctive nature of women is the source of inspiration for her work, wih the womb as metaphor for the origin of life, and our need for warmth, safety and connection to facilitate the self to renew and blossom.
Anna creates her ‘Soft Sculptures’ with different types of wool, silk, yarn and felting techniques influenced by the textures and shapes arising both from design and from chance entanglements of the fibers. Anna facilitates the fusion of her materials forming these sculptures that literally and figuratively come to life on the spot. Organic and frameless, imperfect and capricious. Anna lives in Amsterdam with her 3 Sons.
