Artist Statement

Ann-Margreth Bohl carving stone

The starting point for me was the direct, spontaneous carving into stone, resonating and enhancing particular shapes resulting in a landscape of forms.

With this approach I create lively, energetic work with a certain element of chaos.

Experimenting with paper and cloth I was able to extend my artistic vocabulary in search of form.

As my curiosity and intrigue grows, planning for the finished form has become integral to my practise.

Through calming and simplification I am aiming for the form to exude clarity and strength.

I find a wealth of inspiration viewing the power of the natural world, particularly the resilience and anti-gravitorial qualities of plants.

My aim is to work with stone on a larger scale.
