Anne Kamilla Alexander

“Blue Gastropods”

Maple

My work is organic in form inspired by small nature specimens such as marine life and plant pods. The sculptural forms express themes of growth, life cycles and stages, and regeneration. I investigate connections between our surrounding environment and the human body. The driving theme of my work is exploring and enhancing the spiritual and physical connection to the natural world.
