I’m inspired by architectural constructs, and how simple lines can construct perspectives, helping us to solidify (or question) our ideas about the space we inhabit. Lines recede to a vanishing point, converging and depicting perceived depth where it does not exist physically. I’m not trying to trick the viewer, but ultimately hope to pique interest in our interpretations of what lies in our visual field. Shifts in your viewpoint skew the lines and create alternate interpretations of what’s happening around you, allowing for a phenomenological perspective.
In this recent work, I’ve been exploring small shapes congregating together, creating a larger composition. They each obey their own physical laws, either following a particular vanishing point or being “folded” in a specific fashion. When placed together, these shapes construct a galaxy of forms.

Anna Wenger, who founded her gallery in 2012, is fascinated by the power of reduction in achieving the fullest expression through minimal interventions and generating opacity despite clearly set and strictly geometrical gestures. Apart from classi...
