Vorischt Kunst, Meiningen, Germany
Der Engel des Ostens (Angel of the East), ReinCARnated Elisabeth Palace, Meiningen 2011
Part of a project involving 30 artists. The Trabant car, an emblem of former East Germany is transformed using broken shards of GDR crockery, old phennigs and mirror. All mosaic materials were donated by the public.
The Thuringian ceramics factories closed with the destruction of the wall. The inclusion of these GDR ceramics has developed an ongoing interest in this period of history and the mosaicing of vehicles connected with it.

Research Residency, Ahmedabad, India
Two month residency, Arts Reverie, Gujarat. 2008
The residency saw Anne develop her love of decoration and use of everyday materials connected to a specific place. Ahmedabad is home to hundreds of utensil shops and it's very own utensil museum. Anne created a series of spoon sculptures using plastic bangles and mirror, later shown at her solo show at the European Commission in London.
Anne travelled around Kutch, working with Artisans learning their specialist techniques. In Chandigarh she met her guru, outsider artist, Nek Chand at his sculpture park, "The Rock Garden of Chandigarh". Anne was privileged to have been invited to make a figure for this amazing park.
