ARTIST IN RESIDENCE EXHIBITION
ANNA-WILI
HIGHFIELD
The Gallery is dedicated to showcasing Australian
contemporary arts practice, creating opportunities for
contemporary artists to connect with our regional audiences
and vice versa.
Anna-Wili’s works explore the organic qualities and
resistance of materials, generating a tension between the
complex realism of form and the limitations and economy of
the materials used. They represent life in an immediate way
that conveys the energy, movement and physical character
of different creatures. Her aim is to engineer a moment
of contact with nature in a way that emphasises both the
startling differences and similarities of human and animal
forms and consciousness.
Our Artist in Residence program connects our community
with visiting artists. The Glasshouse Artist in Residency
program provides a working space for artists to develop their
arts practice, resulting in a new and exciting never before
seen exhibition.
