Anna's main interests are centred around the idea of Ephemeral Art, the 60s, Performance and Happenings. She invites the experience for example, her recent work Tree Ideas uses a group of people waiting for leaves to drop from a tree and the experience of anticpation, patience and the way in which the physical self changes in readiness for the potential of catching the falling leaves. This immediacy connects to her dance interest as her background is primarily in this field.
The fact that the body is therefore vulnerable to this change is an idea which becomes more apparent with her exploration of practice - incorporated and inscribed practice.
Her work also engages with larger themes which include scientific ideas such as the Arrow of Time, all change is permanent, an unrepeatable moment.
Presence and the "now" , "patterns and percentages offer a seductive sense of protection".
Maggie Phelan - Spacialised Time
Art can give the impression that time can be irreversible.
Anna's most recent work Car Conversations accentuates the fixed and the ephemeral.
Mark Johnson Bodily Schema
A manner of proceeding - an action is long know and newly experienced.
The juxtaposition of the permanence and transient.
The Body brings the past to the present - EVERYTHING LEAVES A MARK
