About

Textile and Mixed Media Artist.
Artists Statement - Anni Hunt

I am a mixed media artist, and I work mainly with textiles in two and three dimensional art.
I love to create texture. I love things that are old and decaying; antiqued.
I find my inspiration mainly in nature and my West Coast surroundings.
I also like to use text in my pieces to draw the viewer’s attention in; to have them discover the words and symbols hidden in the details, which reveal the fine stitches and threads that have created the texture and text.
I love to play with  microscopic and macro contexts in my artwork; where the viewer’s imagination is free to explore the larger apparent shapes, but continues to find new details every time they see it again.
I have recently incorporated my textiles into encaustics with wax, which gives them a translucent appearance; a feeling of being embalmed/fossilized and aged.
I am working on a series at present involving decaying totem poles from the Northern BC first nations carvings.
