Annie Brundrit - Artist

My work explores belonging, memory and identity, often through the fragile idea of home — what it means, how it protects, and how easily it can be lost.

I create surfaces, spaces and structures that feel at once familiar and precarious.

For me, making is a way of paying attention to the overlooked — giving extraordinary meaning to ordinary things. I want my work to ask questions about stability, change and what we choose to carry with us.
