Anna Clough
Anna Clough’s work reflects the British landscape. Its ecosystems, romanticisation and heritage are recurring themes within her practice. Clough’s interests lie within industrial systems that exist and operate in landscape and how objects can change in value. Led by process, her making is grounded in sculpture, reactivating found materials and forms often through movement.
Predominately researched-based Clough spends time working with the land engaging with the communities and archives her practice is based in. Exploring a physical linking of places and history together. Outcomes of this research are often site-specific, sculpture, film, walking performance, social engagement or photography.
