ABOUT

During Anna’s previous career as a psychologist, she became fascinated by the rythm of the life/death/life cycle as a way to understand the natural course of change from within; which old attitudes and values need to die in order to let new viewpoints and creative life come into fruition

Carrying, giving birth to and nursing her three sons brought about a deeper awareness of the feminine body as a place for growth and renewal, life and shelter. And the womb as a symbol for our need for warmth, safety and connection to facilitate the self to renew and blossom.

With its warmth, softness and strength wool enables her to create soft sculptures and textile pieces characterized by waves, arches and organic forms. Her work is referring to mystery of the feminine, expressing vulnerability, resilience, compassion and fierceness.
