“Through my art, I engage in world-making through the process of play and material-errantry.  I look for openings in the making process where I can ply confident imperfections and deviations, subverting fixed expectations of the tradition or technique at hand. I often use bright colors and repeating patterns as a way of injecting each project with evidence of the exuberant aliveness I feel when making art. My practice seeks to alleviate daily doldrums and spiritless ways of living.  I gift these works to the viewer as an optimistic nudge towards joy, connection and a playful awareness of how the larger world could be.” — Eleanor Anderson
