Anna Hepler: exploring complexity and restfulness


I came across work by this artist recently and was very drawn to her way of working with space and also the predominance of the sphere. After gaining Anna's blessing to show her work I took time to investigate her work more fully, finding this quote from Anna "there is nothing more restful than the perfect circle. The sphere is one of those perfect forms that allows you to appreciate the chaos without being overwhelmed because you are contantly held in stillness by the overall shape".  I like the way her work has a wonderful dynamic quality and yet it is contained as she suggests.Much of the artist's work explores the fragility of fleeting moments.
For an excellent series of images and more on Anna Hepler's work visit her blog and her website.
