Anna York
“I am in love with the cosmos, growing forests and desert landscapes. I am moved by the warm colours of the Earth and the softness of driftwood caressed by the wild open sea. I listen.
Meditations on time and existence strongly impact on what I do as an artist. This reflection allows me to reach for simplicity that dignifies the subject and brings to light its timelessness.
My work on Planets is a reminder of the depth of time, the infinity of space and the beauty of the Universe. It brings out the much needed feelings of compassion and awe.”
