About the Item
Ann Vollum’s artistic practice is deeply rich and evocative, blending elements of personal history, cultural influences, and a commitment to sustainability. The use of repurposed materials not only adds layers of meaning to her work but also aligns with a growing awareness of environmental concerns in contemporary art.
The meditative and slow nature of Vollum’s process likely imbues her pieces with a sense of depth and introspection, inviting viewers to slow down and engage with the intricate details and narratives woven into each stitch. The incorporation of ambiguous and dark narratives adds an element of mystery and invites viewers to explore their own emotions and interpretations.
Vollum’s childhood experiences in Africa, as well as her travels in Pakistan and India, provide a rich tapestry of cultural influences that manifest in her iconography and use of pattern. This fusion of diverse cultural elements not only reflects her personal journey but also serves as a bridge for viewers to connect with different parts of the world and their own experiences.
By aiming to capture the imagination of the viewers and inviting them to bring their own narratives to the work, Vollum creates a dynamic exchange between artist and audience. Each piece becomes a vessel for storytelling and reflection, fostering a deeper connection and dialogue between creator and observer.
Overall, her artistic practice is a testament to the power of creativity to transcend boundaries and evoke emotion, inviting viewers on a journey of exploration and self-discovery.

View AllBatiked Eggshell Collage on Found Wood: 'Striped Bass'
Located in New York, NY
'I have been working on eggshells since I was 8 years old, learning the traditional Ukrainian art of pysanky from my mother. This artistic and cultic use of eggs informs my work to this day - as I believe that eggs are events - not simply objects. The shells (while the protective casing for the new life inside) are memories of the primal events that produced the eggs, intended as new life.
In order to infuse new life into this ancient folk art, I have manipulated traditional processes with innovative dyeing & brush techniques, and etching, to forge a new visual language to write on this versatile, organic sphere. The facility of the shell for a range of techniques (batiking, scratching, painting, gilding) affords me a great range of visual expression to manifest ideas, events, and fantasies.
“Ancient design for a new worldview” has been the mantra underpinning my studio philosophy and praxis. Picking up pieces of broken eggshells and reconstructing them into new images, the work of my studio, seems like an apt metaphor for this moment. This process born out of recycling studio detritus has offered me a new way to construct new worldview's. Bringing forward from the past images, designs, and compositions can visually realign how we see our own world in these times.' -Paul Wirhun
