Anna Horne
—

Anna Horne is a visual artist living and working in South Australia (Kaurna Yarta). Horne explores materiality, process, and the transience of the physical world through the field of sculpture. Horne’s work references the domestic and architectural space by utilising both industrial and commonplace materials. Through experimentation in the studio, she re-examines and plays with the order of functional materials within the context of contemporary sculpture. Employing methods of casting and assemblage whilst combining structural materials like concrete, floor vinyl and styrofoam with found items such as beach balls, plastic bags and wine sacks she creates sculptures exploring tension, contradiction and balance. Through the forces and oppositions in Horne’s art practice, sculptures are produced contending between light and heavy, soft and hard, familiar and strange.

Horne is a graduate of Adelaide Central School of Art (2008). In 2017 was a Churchie Emerging art prize finalist and the winner of the Tatiara Contemporary art prize. 

Horne has presented public art works in temporary projects including FELTnatural ephemeral public art project (2014); Arts SA Sculpture Hire Program, State Administration building (2014) and Ibidem: CACSA public art project, Adelaide Festival Centre (2012). 

Residencies include: Cité Internationale Des Arts (Art Gallery NSW, 2018), Gachang Art Studio, South Korea, (Asialink 2016); Sanskriti Kendra, New Delhi, India (Helpmann Academy, 2013); and Artspace, Sydney (Helpmann Academy, 2012).
