Anna Bellinger. UK. 1969.

My work explores the human relationship with nature, the nature of being human, and the disconnect and the stories that lie within. I use arboreal references, the human form, and found or repurposed objects in those explorations. I´m attracted to pattern and repetiton, and I enjoy humour - funny is important to me, but sometimes it comes from a dark place. I wonder a lot.

Currently working with acrylics and charcoal to bring human and arboreal forms together in a type of abstracted figuration (Wood for the Trees, Disconnect), I also work with found objects, photography, and installation to present sideways perspectives on the human legacy (Underfoot, Anthropocene, Invasive Species)

​

Born and brought up in the countryside of southeast England, I now live in Andalucía.

I have a BA (hons) degree in Textile Design.

All of these things inform my process and practice as an artist.
