As we progress through the work we delve into a more futuristic interpretation of the world we live in and planets beyond.
Bio
Annie Trevorah completed her MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art. With a diverse background and entrepreneurial spirit she has also enjoyed high level careers in music, sport, publishing and business. Taking a panoptic and cinematic approach, Trevorah’s work includes sculpture, textiles, photography, print, video and sound.
Her practice is grounded with concerns around society, justice and political comment as well as the socio-dynamic interplay between humans and nature. With strong references to the body, she explores connections between various manifestations of freedom and containment, control, tension and incongruity, often depicting fluidity within structures.
Trevorah has exhibited internationally with recent shows at Centro Culturale di Milano, Las Laguna Gallery, USA and 67 York Street, London. She is a finalist in the up-coming Chiaya awards show, has been Longlisted for Aesthetica Art Prize and was commissioned by Wandsworth Council to produce a public sculpture in Battersea Park, replacing Barbara Hepworth’s Single Form whilst on loan. She was also awarded the Chianciano Biennale 2022 Prize for Photography and Digital Art and is a recipient of ICAC Art Critics Award.

STATEMENT
Annie Trevorah’s multi-disciplinary practice takes a panoptic and cinematic approach; is highly narrative and often installation based embracing sculpture, textiles, print, photography, video and sound.
Trevorah’s particular area of interest is human–plant interconnectivity. Looking at our immersion within a dynamic world, she places eco-feminism, linked evolutionary/reproductive processes, mutation, shape-shifting and intra-dependence at the heart of her work.
In repositioning our thinking from the human perspective – the anthropocentric mode – to that of the vegetative, Trevorah interrogates the human/nature boundary and questions assumptions about human superiority over the environment, asking us to reconsider the human subject as just one of many participants within a lively ecology of meaning and value - each with its own agentive desires and possibilities, ceaselessly engaged in processes of their own becoming. As Trevorah reflects upon our future existence, she poses the question of a biological invasion of an adaptive alien species equipped to survive in the world we have created.
An emphasis on the notion of metamorphosis, leads Trevorah to play with a palette of bright colours and an array of materials including clay, resin, glass, vegetation, fabric, foam, metal and stone often using a surprising juxtaposition of materials to highlight discord and sometimes harmony.
