Anna Schwann
Anna Schwann works in an expanded sculptural practice that investigates the encounter between art and audience.
Through playful resistance and embracing failure she facilitates a conversation using sensory engaging tactics as means of connection.
Taking a D.I.Y approach to technique, Schwann utilises provisional, accessible materials for making and uses everyday objects in their narrative.
Living on unceded DjaDja Wurrung land of the Djaara people.
Sky Charms are hybrid objects that sit somewhere between man-made air fresheners and organic forms. These forms share a common language of smell lines or stink lines that you see in cartoons, which are officially known as ‘waftarons’. When you see these wavy lines, it is an indication that there is ‘something’ for you to smell.
What is the smelliest colour? Friends and colleagues contributed the colour they thought was the smelliest, and you can see them featured on the works (the most popular was yellow/green!).
HUGE thanks to the fabulous studio assistants Ashton Roe and Saskia Van Pagee Anderson for their all efforts on this project.
