Biography

Anne von Freyburg's practice engages in discourse surrounding the construction of female identity and the exotification of cultural objects, often for capitalist purposes.  Her choice of media is purposeful, carrying art historical and social connotations. Blending high and low art by using repurposed textiles, her work celebrates fabric’s inherent artistic possibilities while elevating them to the realm of fine art.
