Anna Varendorff is a mid-career practitioner (as per artisan’s published definitions) and work as an artist, craftsperson, designer and academic. She studied and began her practice in Brisbane, where she lived and worked for a decade before moving to Melbourne, where she has continued to commit her energy to her creative practice. Varendorff work regularly between Melbourne and Brisbane: creating public works for Brisbane City Council, UAP, private commissions and with a regular exhibition practice, including a 20+ year ongoing relationship with artisan. Varendorff makes sculpture and installations, small run furniture for exhibition, and she produce handmade products under the name ACV studio. Across all of these platforms she is curious and concerned with feminism, the politics of labour, and the revolutionary capacity of handmade objects.
