Artist of the Month : Anna-Wili Highfield


2010
      Ink, water colour, cotton paper, thread, brass rod, timber block

Anna-Wili Highfield is a Sydney based artist that
 makes sculptures from paper and copper pipe. 
The paper sculptures are painted, then sewn together to create the figure of an animal.
The copper pipe is bent and manipulated to create sculptural forms 
reminiscent of line drawings. 
These animals are quite a sophisticated lot of keepers, 
that anyone in their right mind would DIE to have on their mantel...
