Anna Hepler is a sculptor based in Eastport, Maine. Her work, which is both hand-held and architectural in scale, overturns first impressions – wire forms flatten into drawings, clay impersonates metal, plywood coils like rope, plastic inhales and exhales. Hepler values embarrassment, uncertainty, blunder, and fragility as active agents in her studio process.


安娜-赫普勒是一位驻扎在缅因州东港的雕塑家。她的作品,既是手持式的,也是建筑式的,颠覆了人们的第一印象--金属丝的形状被压扁成图画,粘土冒充金属,胶合板像绳子一样盘绕,塑料吸入和呼出。赫普勒重视尴尬、不确定性、失误和脆弱性,认为它们是她工作室过程中的积极因素。


“In preferring a path of unknowns, I choose purpose over craft, awkwardness over expertise, and improvisation over procedure. I am working to loosen knots of assumption and forfeit some of my authority.”


"在喜欢一条未知的道路上,我选择目的而不是工艺,选择尴尬而不是专业知识,选择即兴创作而不是程序。我正在努力松开假设的结,放弃我的一些权威"。
