Anna Andersson explores the potential of sculpture as a medium and in her practice examines the interplay between thought and action. In her work, there is a constant striving for something , even if she does not always know exactly what this something is. It is the search for meaning rather than absolute truth that drives her creation and she embraces uncertainty as part of that process.

An important aspect of Andersson’s working method is precisely her ability to dare to stay in a state of uncertainty, a place of freedom and creativity where new ideas and possibilities can be explored. For Andersson, uncertainty does not imply weakness, but rather a trust in the work of art and its ability to harbor a power even without clear answers.

In her work, she explores not only what we can observe, but also what is more subtle and elusive, as well as the tension that can arise in between. Philosophy is a source of inspiration and resonance, Andersson refers to philosophers such as Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Hannah Arendt and their ideas about perception: how our position in the world and our relationship to others shape our experience and understanding of existence.
