Anna Guthrie 

Artist Statement

Anna Guthrie’s practice unfolds through movement, observation, and material transformation. Situated in process and inquiry, her work distills fleeting encounters with urban space into tactile, ceramic forms. She approaches making as an act of response – walking, collecting, drawing, and documenting – each step informing a layered visual language that ultimately finds form in ceramics.

Grounded in sustainability, Guthrie embraces low-fire, reclaimed clays, refining what is kept, what is altered, and what is left behind. Her ceramic works reference spatial boundaries and human presence, often suggesting structures of control, stillness, or resistance.

At once gestural and precise, her practice engages with the tension between the ephemeral and the permanent, the intuitive and the constructed. Through a deliberately restrained material language, Guthrie’s work exists in conversation with its environment—anchored in process, but always seeking what lies beyond it.
