IT LOVES TO HAPPEN *
Wool is a living texture. It has character and provides warmth. In this manner Joseph Beuys spoke of his work with felt , eg Felt Suit 1970, as warmth sculptures.
Compressing wool, moistened with olive soap and water, makes the wool fibres interlock. This creates felt: a non-woven textile-type.
Anna experiments with different types of wool and felting techniques, passionate about the creative process of emerging textures and shapes which arise on the spot. She facilitates the fusion of her materials; wool, silk and embroidery thread, curious about what loves to happen.
You can see her works coming alive. Unfinished and frameless, imperfect and capricious.
* “that is, the universe is truly in love with its task of fashioning whatever is next to be”" from the Meditations Book X by Marcus Aurelius (Chris Thompson, "FELT-Fluxus, Joseph Beuys, and the Dalai Lama", 1975)
