Anya Gallaccio

Anya Gallaccio studied at the Kingston Polytechnic, London, UK and Goldsmiths’ College, University of London, UK. She currently lives and works in San Diego, CA. Her works are made from a wide range of materials, mostly derived from nature. Gallaccio's work is primarily concerned with nature, beauty and decay, often using ephemeral materials with which she references the cyclic nature of life and death. The works' multi-sensory and experimental aspects allow the viewer to engage with the rich tactile elements as well as the conceptual grounding of each piece. The works are often in a permanent state of flux, and are displayed in a variety of settings.
