Juror

Juror

Anna Macrae

Anna Macrae is a British born artist living in Seattle since 2001, and a maker of beautiful messy imperfections.
She considers herself a lifelong artist, and from an early age she surrounded herself with art making. Her mother and grandmother were both artists, their skills were often put to use in a more practical and domestic environment, but their approach to life instilled in Anna creative possibilities in everyday objects and situations.


Artist Statement
Juror Juror

I am a process driven artist. My work is generated in response to the materials that I use together with the techniques and processes that I have developed. I am interested in texture and surface and playing with non-precious unconventional materials. I follow an intuitive path, where disrespect for conventions are primary. My intention is to honor the mundane and tell the story of moments in time, valuing those small pieces that make up the seemingly average - knowing that they are important and can be seen, if you know how to look. I surrender to the rules of chance and natural intuition as I make and play.
