Anne Wilson




Anne Wilson is a Chicago based artist, she creates sculpture, drawings, and DVD stop motion animations using thread and textiles. I partuicularly liked her work at the V&A in the Spectacular Craft exhibition. The small woven forms looked like tiny alien civilisations and I liked the simplicity in construction. They had a distinct order and at the same time there appeared to be some kind of randomness. I also appreciated the siplicity of construction and the congruency of the individual parts on the large display table. I tried to recreate these forms using some pins and black, lacy thread.
