Anna-Wili’s works explore the organic qualities and resistance of materials, generating a tension between the complex realism of form and the limita- tions and economy of the materials used. They represent life in an imme- diate way that conveys the energy, movement and physical character of different creatures. Her aim is to engineer a moment of contact with nature in a way that emphasises both the startling differences and similarities of human and animal forms and consciousness.
