Every piece is a unique sculpture, produced by hand using sustainable materials. Annie starts with building an armature from recycled card and wood, this is then followed by the meticulous process of layering paper pulp over the base, adding her unique style of textural relief.
Annie Strachan (she/her) is an artist and designer living and working in London. Sustainable processes and techniques are central to her practice. Working with recycled materials including; wood, textiles and paper mâché, she creates small batch and one-off functional sculptures intended for everyday use in the home.

Set design, as seen in post-war Hollywood cinema, influences her approach to texture, colour and materiality. While architectural themes including; Modernism and Postmodernism are reflected through the creation of playful abstract forms.
