About

To top

Anna Collette Hunt is a contemporary ceramic artist celebrated for her intricate insect sculptures and immersive ceramic installations. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, she transforms insects, organic forms, and microscopic details into richly textured ceramic works that spark curiosity and wonder. Her practice blends nature, storytelling, and memory, resulting in artworks that invite close engagement and reward repeated viewing.

Known for her large-scale swarms and wall-based ceramic environments, Anna creates installations that shift between the real and the fantastical. These dynamic arrangements animate architectural spaces, turning them into living ecosystems where beauty and unease coexist. Her work blurs boundaries between sculpture, craft, and environmental art, offering audiences an experience that is both enchanting and thought-provoking.

Anna is driven by a lifelong fascination with nature, cosmic mysteries, and the fragility of the planet. Themes of preservation, biodiversity, and the passage of time run throughout her practice, positioning her work within contemporary conversations about ecology and environmental change. Each piece becomes a celebration of the natural world as well as a reminder of its vulnerability.

At New Ashgate Gallery, Anna Collette Hunt’s work stands out for its craftsmanship, imaginative vision, and ability to transform space. Her ceramic insects and installations continue to captivate collectors, curators, and audiences seeking innovative, nature-inspired contemporary art.
