Annalise Rees

ARTIST STATEMENT

'My practice explores drawing as thinking in process. Operating within an expanded field of drawing including two and three-dimensional elements, sound, moving image and installation, my research considers drawing as integral to how we build knowledge and communicate experience of the world at large. Referencing discourse engaging with phenomenological and embodied experience my practice predominantly investigates drawing through journaling and field-based research. My research practices and poses drawing as an important speculative act in the development of understanding and the production of knowledge as an embodied process.'
