About the Artist

Annemarie’s work is grounded in the process of preservation, where transformation becomes a quiet act of attention rather than loss. As botanicals move from vitality to stillness, form gives way to structure, negative space, and rhythm, revealing new meanings over time. Guided by symbolism rather than spectacle, her practice engages with life’s thresholds, moments of union, remembrance, and return, creating works that hold personal and cultural resonance.

About the Artwork

Gyvybe is a vital life -force. Using Australian natives like gum and strawflowers that dry perfectly, it’s showing life doesn’t end; simply transforms and stays close ‘Arti’ in a preserved state forever. For the final piece, orchids, flowering gum will be replaced with archival strawflowers for structural longevity and presented in a shadow box.
