ANNA GLEESON | SHELF
May 18 - June 20, 2025
Here are some vessels I’ve made since moving to New York two years ago. I take volumes and ways of working from things I see around me; buildings, loaves of bread, bodies, puffer coats, kitchen sponges. There’s always a question of what holds things up and what pulls them down; what degree of slump or stiffness they have, how much weight they carry and whether they have any degree or pride, status or shame.
Born and raised in country NSW, Australia, Anna Gleeson studied at Sydney College of the Arts. She works across print-making, painting and sculpture and has exhibited widely across Asia.
