Anne's interest in archaeological and geology is often referenced in her work. Her creative process is intrinsically connected to the act of making, experimenting and challenging material process. The employment of a diverse range of transformational processes, such as casting and layering is manifested, evidenced and recorded in the work. The final piece is often witness to its own history, engaging the viewer into a process of enquiry of association with material and process, much as an archaeologist excavates and reveals objects that connect the present and the past.
