AA2A Resident Artist

Anna Marris

Schemes:
Art forms: Printmaking • Sculpture

I am an interdisciplinary artist attending to the intersection of art, science and technology. I work across traditional and contemporary modes of making, reconstructing
primary imagery or open-access data of the world into abstract forms and surface textures to tell a story of deep time and deep futures at the core of a planet subjected to exploitative human activity. By incorporating multiple perspectives within a single artwork or installation, I aim to unearth new narratives and ways to access complex issues embedded in our perceptions of climate change, resource extraction, and media control.

In 2021, I graduated with a first class honours from BA Fine Art at Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton. In 2023, I graduated from MA Print at the Royal College of Art and was awarded a Distinction in my Critical and Historical Studies dissertation exploring issues entangled with the representation of resource extraction online and in archives.

I am an active member and Marketing Officer for ZEST Collective, an artist collective based in Southampton dedicated to supporting artists and their creative practices
through collaborative projects, exhibitions, and community engagement. In 2024, I was selected to participate in ‘Ground Up’, an arts and ecology residency program facilitated by GroundWork Gallery based in Norfolk. Shortly after, I was selected for the Platform residency at Aspex Gallery in Portsmouth, where I investigated scientific and cultural perspectives of ocean circulation through experimental work across printmaking, sculpture, film, and projection mapping.
