Anne Sargent Walkers interest in the relationship to nature, evolution, and individuality is the foundation for her work. If all matter has been here since the Big Bang forming and deconstructing and reforming into something new again and again, what then is the nature of our differentness as a species and an individual?
Her work begins with abstract layers of color into which she scratches or paints forms to suggest cells, eggs, skeins of protein. Some have layers of old wallpaper in them, something “man made”, which is suggestive of cultural, pastoral attitudes towards nature. Over this she paints images both representational an abstract of birds or animals, and sometimes humans to suggest the relationship with the larger world of nature .
Anne was born in Boston and now lives in Wellesley , Massachusetts. She has a M.Ed. From Tufts University and a B.A. From Connecticut College.
