Anna Andrea Winther

Visual Artist

Born 1993 from Reykjavik, Iceland

Currently based in Glasgow, Scotland

​

In Anna Winther's artistic practice she looks to deconstruct various phenomenon’s within Icelandic-and western food production.  She explores these products through the industrial processes they are subjected to in comparison to their natural origins, materiality and their connection to human history. 

​

In these works Anna tries to bring about the question of how we can re-connect with our food and therefor nature.
