Anna Klas

Description

Anna Klas is a German artist and material researcher based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands & Ammersee, Germany. Her practice evolves around mindful interactions with our surroundings. “How can we be in conversation with the more-than-human world and learn to appreciate what the local grounds surrounding our home(s) encapsulate?” Anna is a passionate craftswoman and maker who draws inspiration from the stories behind the materials she uses. Whether it be collected from a natural landscape or industrially made and reused in a different narrative. Through which the pieces she creates are given a voice and become storytellers themselves. Her work is multimedial and often site-specific, with a focus on ceramics and textiles. Besides developing her own work, she collaborates with Mercedes Azpilicueta and is the founder of `Havhuset´, a creative space on Ærø, Denmark.
