Encountering a more than human world.

About

anna brodie

Everyday simple process - building space for thoughts and objects to think with.

Spun in linen, wood, paper and wool. 

Examining the earth as a body and the body as a part of the earth.

I draw connections, seeing how one thing creates another and consider how society maps the body, both that of the earth and our own. 

Unravelling habitual thinking by employing anti-capitalist, posthumanist, feminist, and interspecies thinking.

'The Dance'

All things on earth interact in a continual cycle of encounters. One thing turns into another, which turns into the next, and the next turns back to another. Plants, animals, humans and technology - we rely upon, inhabit, and evolve alongside each other. We become with one another. This work strays from creating visible boundaries between entities and instead unfolds itself in amorphous forms. Material elements from the organic to the machine join to bring the world to life.
