DUSTY DAYS.
ANNIKA LEE.
Annika Lee is a Newcastle based interdisciplinary artist predominately working with timber and sandstone sculpture. Inspired by life experience, the natural world and her raw materials, she creates abstract sculptures that have a playful sense of flow and balance between form and material.
Annika studied a Diploma of Visual Art focused on figurative painting and drawing then undertook a Bachelor of Creative Industries where she branched into abstraction and sculptural work. It was in moving to sculpture that Annika discovered her love of the hands on, tactile process of making, the challenge of problem solving in 3D, and the satisfaction in the rhythmic, meditative state of chiselling or sanding.
While the finished works mark a point of completion it’s the Dusty Days in the studio that bring them to life.
