Anna Perach

About

Anna Perach's practice explores the dynamic between personal and cultural myths, and how many of our intimate narratives are deeply rooted in ancient folklore and storytelling. Using a method called tufting, a historical technique where carpet textile pieces are produced by hand, Perach transforms female archetypes into sculptural hybrids, exploring ideas of identity, gender, and craft.

For her first institutional solo exhibition in the UK, Perach will produce a new body of work based on the concept of the monstrous feminine, and the transformation of the body as a metaphor for cerebral and spiritual exploration. The exhibition brings together ideas around magic, ritual and the history of witchcraft, and how these subjects relate to the reproductive body.

All Gasworks’ exhibitions are supported by Catherine Petitgas and Gasworks Exhibitions Supporters.
