Wrapping and unravelling, Anna Barham is drawn to using local and vernacular materials—not specialist or “separate” materials but things common to everyday experience, bought from a builders’ merchant, on a market stall, or found on the street. Her practice exchanges time with objects and materials, sometimes through repetitive and labour-intensive ways of making. Time is somehow contained in the work, recalling handcrafts such as lace-making, where stories, memories, daydreams, and mundane thoughts are embedded within the intricate pieces created.
