Anna Jalanski

Bachelor of Fine Arts (Sculpture)

I use objects that have thought-provoking shapes and textures. I am intrigued by spaces which make up a form. I find these objects down the street, at the supermarket, at the op-shop and in my home. To choose an object, I need to have an initial sense of excitement. I make decisions around the object impulsively, because all I know is that I want to give something to the object itself. I want to give it something that complements its space; that folds it in a way to show off its precious details; squish it until it feels comfortable. Then I can see it speak with its own voice. After which, I leave it, take care of it and watch how it interacts with the space.
