At the beginning of her creative process she hikes for hours through significant landscapes. She works with huge fabrics on volcanic rocks bathing them in the ocean or rivers letting them for weeks outside onto the earth under stones in the wind in the rain.

Embarking on a research and spiritual journey into the primal forces of nature Anna Franke delves into the interplay of sensitivity fragility and wildness. Painting serves as a research field for the artist where she explores experimental techniques natural materials and the interplay between outdoor work and studio refinement. This cyclic process of creating seeks equilibrium between the internal and external body and mind idea and material is her spiritual path to connect with the earth and become part of it. Currently she is working with the transitions between wet and dry states she creates wave forms furrows and paths that traverse the material. Engaging in a ritualistic process involving liquid and solid states of matter Anna layers natural pigments dust and water to seamlessly integrate the fabric’s forms into the surroundings forging a connection with the land.

Her  ongoing project „floating landscapes“ are sculptural pieces  that evoke a sensation of weightlessness enhancing the perception of floatation.
