| BIOGRAPHY: Anna Peach is a studio artist who develops ideas based on the experiences of a community. She then collects material that contains memories of these histories. Collecting is part of the physicality of the work, from diving to retrieve thousands of golf balls from the ocean to hand picking the seeds of invasive plants, these symbolic solutions illuminate humankind’s increasingly complex relationship to the environment and technology.
Peach received a B.F.A. from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1995. Her work has been exhibited nationally at The Honolulu Academy of Arts, Woman made Gallery, Chicago, and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center. She has lived and worked internationally exhibiting at non-traditional venues and public spaces in Ireland, Japan, and across the South Pacific. She currently resides in Switzerland.
