‘Blurred Lines’ refers to the threshold we all navigate daily as we’re inundated with visual stimuli through social media and advertising. 

Are we willing to accept an image as it is presented to us? Does it matter if that image is true or false? Blurred Lines has been contrived to purposely manipulate our hunger for beauty, symmetry, colour and fulfillment, thereby illuminating our aspirational consumption of the images we engage with on a daily basis, display our personal motivations and maybe even question the mass marketing we observe in our everyday lives. 

The floral language is ultimately a positive one, traditionally welcomed throughout many eras and cultures. Further investigation reveals a cryptological communication. While modern enthusiasts perceive generalized signifiers (such as red roses for love, yellow for friendship), an interest in floriography (the language of flowers) was significant in Victorian England and 19th Century America. Gifts of blooms, plants and specific floral arrangements revealed coded messages to the recipient, often allowing a sender to communicate unspoken feelings. 

Inspired by this rich history, Anna applies this psychology to interpret a modern social commentary; how do we communicate and how are we communicated to? Anna theorizes; if what we perceive through social media is real, and beautiful; do we care if it’s artfully staged or deliberate in it’s messaging? Do we bother to seek out a hidden meaning? Be it a disguised aspirational message or a deliberate advertisement? Are we willing to suspend disbelief?

The juxtaposition of soft florals with the stark colour theory, as well as the fact that this entire series is composed of fake blooms is a deliberate variant on the floriography theme. Another significant point of inspiration and symbolism for Blurred Lines was Hermann Rorschach’s inkblot tests. Upon first inspection, you might just see the beautiful arrangement. However, if you look closer, there’s an unsymmetrical mirror version; it’s blurred self. 

This deliberate variant is designed to trick your eyes and hopefully spur the viewer to analyse the difference between what you visually perceive and what your mind understands. Much like during a Rorschach assessment, the image may be rotated and interpreted using a variety of factors; and is also largely dependent on the affect state of mind of the viewer.

Anna's artistic practice blends an alchemy of materials and mediums, employing painting, arranging, and sculpting to convey her chosen thesis. Her photographic works flirt with a painterly realism, leaving viewers inquisitive about whether they are witnessing a painting or a photograph. This dynamic interplay captivates observers, encouraging them to linger and provoke closer inspection. Utilizing the photographic medium, Anna captures the expressions of her tactile, three-dimensional creations and assemblages to a two dimensional viewing platform. Distilling her art into magnified photographic forms, yielding limited-edition fine art prints. "Experimenting with diverse materials allows me to convey the thesis I wish to explore. It enables me to develop new concepts without confining my ideas to a singular style. I enjoy creatively challenging myself and pushing boundaries with each new collection, and using materials beyond their original intended purpose. Through my experimentation process of painting, arranging, sculpting, failing and failing better approach I reach a desired outcome”. Having a physical connection to the materials is crucial for Anna. She values the tactile experience of sculpting, finding that it offers resistance and presents obstacles that help foster her creativity within the limitations and handling her chosen materials. "Everything I create is impermanent, much like a photograph captures a moment in time. I relish the building and witnessing the work unfold into something other during my process. Nothing is meticulously planned in advance; I begin, and my work reflects the ever-changing reality of my immediate materials, environment and thoughts. I deliberately allow structures to almost unconsciously form, merge, and compose themselves into their eventual becoming." She finds inspiration in creating artworks that offer immediate visual enjoyment but also deepen in meaning upon ongoing introspection. Her pieces possess a surrealist approach, and maintain an ease that makes them adaptable for various decor styles and environments. "It's gratifying to know that my artwork resides in and is cherished in beautiful homes, public spaces and hotels worldwide. In an age of sensory inundation, the visuals that surround you should bring joy, create fulfilling vistas in your environment, materialize aesthetic self-expression, and nurture your visual well-being.
