Anne Dahl

Anne Dahl is an interdisciplinary artist based in Tiohtià:ke/ Montréal. Her current work explores the optics of ornament through sculptural assemblage using reclaimed objects, metal, stone, and wood. Her work aims to resist imposed colonial structures of objectivism, truth, and value to create both a self-portrait and mirror. Her material processes focus on embodied presence and the inversion of material hierarchies, activating a collaboration between body and object rooted in her perspective and history as a jeweller. Through tensions of fragility and weightedness, she explores a shifting concept of physical presence in relation to technology, the fallacy of its advertised neutral surface and its impact on our contemporary self. She has exhibited in New York, Montréal, Ottawa, and Toronto. Her jewellery and sculpture work has been seen in Elle Canada, Clin d’oeil, Metalsmith Magazine, the Globe and Mail and ESPACE Art Actuel.
