"I'm Spinning My Own Canvas
In Anna Ramsair's studio 2D and 3D compete for dominance. After many years of mainly drawing and painting, the clay has conquered a place between paper and linen since 2014. 2D and 3D sand and tumble along and over each other in order to merge with each other regularly. This can be seen in clay-covered paper and drawings that live like a film on the twisted ceramics. Playful, surprising and complex, just like the theme with which Anna Ramsair has connected: urbanity in our current society. For it is the city where she lives and works all her life. Beautiful, compelling and happy, shocking, exhausting and intriguing. Anna makes her way through life in the city and regularly asks herself: what is this about? To make a drawing, sculpture or a drawing on a sculpture in her studio. Or something like that she says herself: "I turn my own canvas".
