Bio: I am an artist who builds sculpture, installations and social engagements in both galleries and unexpected venues. I work with performance artists, chefs, hairdressers, nurses and other artists to investigate the economy,and poetics of the body, and the disruptive and creative possibilities of  imagination. In this process, I cull supplies from the animal, vegetable and mineral sources of daily life: wood, sugar, cabbage, wool, meat, glass, light.  I also cull  for art-making venues: The domestic and forms of work are re-framed and invited to the table,or to travel in a tent,  as visual sources, and sites for installation, conversation and discourse. And at the end of the day , it all comes back to the body-- wooden limbs, food, sutures, glass,  tools..... http://www.annschnake.com/
