Artworks

Anna Gonzalez Noguchi

Informed by her cross-cultural heritage - British born, half Japanese and half Spanish - Gonzalez Noguchi removes, relocates and reconstructs objects in different geographic territories. She renegotiates memory and investigates our capacity to anchor experiences in tangible forms. This is reflected in a range of sculptural formats - innocuous possessions and handmade objects located on steel structures, wood turned imitation crockery stacks and intricate ceramic tile reliefs. An intense attention to detail, combined with industrial finish and traditional craft, visually punctuate the work.

Probing what it means to possess things and embed memories, personal histories and wider connections. Encountering and dealing with what’s been left behind – wondering who holds responsibility for these things going forward and how this has implications for everyone in terms of how we live, work and creatively express ourselves.
