VCA ART 2020

Anna Steele

Master of Contemporary Art

My art practice addresses the experience of the urban environment. The spaces we inhabit and the structures we coexist with allow for moments of accidental art, abstraction and poetry—the noticing of this forms the basis of my practice. I am interested in the shifting nature of urban landscapes and how this affects the way we move through it. Materials typically used in construction or found relics thereof, find their way into my work to perform new abstractions and experiences of space. The arrangement of materials and forms construct and collage their own embodiment of architectural space.
