Anne's work includes sculptural installation, photography and audio. She often explores our relationship with place and space and her pieces re-purpose objects and challenge us to view our surroundings in a totally different way. Anne's art is often fully immersive, creating installations that you enter into rather than view from a distance. She often experiments with new materials and the process of creating each new work, is as important as the finished piece. You can see Anne's Winter Commission at Tate Britain in London from the 30th of November.
