Anna Boland

Anna Boland is an interdisciplinary artist based at KARST studios in Plymouth. Fascinated by the unseen, she explores the invisible architecture of bodies, the hidden scaffolding of our environments, parallel worlds, and elusive forces made tangible through sculpture and installation. Her practice uses found and everyday materials to replicate bodily and infrastructural functions, from carrying water and electricity to supporting communication networks and structural frameworks. Process is central to her work, and material led exploration generates forms that sit between the familiar and the uncanny, evoking bodily presence while referencing environmental systems. She is currently investigating antibodies and dark matter. Though vastly different in scale, both are understood through their effects, and she is exploring sculptural strategies to give form to these invisible systems and make the unknown tangible.
