Anna Turnbull is an emerging ceramic and mixed media artist living and working in regional Queensland Australia. Anna’s practice is multidisciplinary and consists of ceramics, drawing, painting and textiles.

Anna’s current body of work seeks to encapsulate elements of the natural environment into her art practice and attempts to reflect the colours, textures and forms drawn from around the Moreton Bay region. More specifically, Anna’s work is created using a receptive walking methodology as a contextual and conceptual mechanism. Walking is an integral component of Anna’s studio processes and forms the core of her arts practice.

“As an emerging artist I have developed a substantial a body of conceptual ceramic and visual art, primarily utilising a receptive walking methodology to generate new ideas and artistic concepts. Presently this practice is accomplished by walking and observing the Deception Bay foreshore at differing times of the day, observing how the spaces and light change. Whilst walking and sketching I reflect on how to represent my experience of emplacement via ceramics, drawings and textiles. This is an attempt to convey through my artistic artefacts the experience of emplacement and reverence for the natural environment.

As a walking artist I use walking as an experiential and sensorial process that informs my contemporary practice-led research in ceramics.
