Anna Bellinger. UK. 1969.
Born and educated in the southeast of England, home is now the province of Cádiz, Andalucía, Spain.
I am interested in the human relationship with nature, in the nature of being human, and the disconnect and the stories that lie within.
I am curious about everything from the smallest details of life to the big questions. I wonder a lot. I enjoy image and colour and ideas. I make and paint and photograph and also like to write stuff. My work is informed by the light, colour and natural environment of my immediate surroundings and also by a textile design background.
I have previously worked with found objects, photography, and installation to present sideways, tongue-in-cheek images of an ugly human legacy in ´Underfoot´ and ´Anthropocene´, but my current obsession is with the ´Umbrella Pine´ and its almost human,
limb-like forms - using acrylics and charcoal to explore their power and steady presence as a symbol of an entity man feels compelled to control, curtail and, ultimately, condemn.
