CONSTELLATION #3 | 2020

 

Anja Hessler is a German/British artist and designer based in Ramsgate, UK. Minimalism and Design as Art play a dominant role in her artistic practice. She draws her inspiration from the Modernism movement and in particular the Bauhaus aesthetic and its focus on form and function. While studying to become a display artist she was introduced to a wide variety of crafts and design skills, working on theatrical stage based arrangements with a focus on forms in space and how to engage the viewer.

ELEMENTS | 2022

 
I create one-of-a-kind moving sculptures from precious metals, copper, steel, aluminium, acrylic and wood. My work explores materials, shape, textures, balance, light and movement in space. I use traditional techniques to manipulate each element to bring out traces of degradation and humidity. Objects are fused onto carefully crafted rods balancing through space and time, interconnecting present and memory. My recent work focuses on opposites; combining the simplicity and precise nature of geometric forms with organic textures allowing nature to take control over time.
