Sculpture A look at Annie Henry's sculptures and creative clay work."Annie Henry creates sculptures that come from her imagination. Although loosely based on the human figure they display a rare combination of lyricism and fine craftsmanship. Her background as a musician becomes clear when you see the passion, fluidity and gentle beauty contained in each of her handcrafted figures.
Annie with St Hilary
Annie came to Cornwall in 2002 to set up her studio in Perranuthnoe when she took part in the St Ives International Ceramica Festival and is a member of Cornwall Crafts Association and regularly exhibits at Trelissick, Nr Truro and Trelawarren, Lizard, as well as their annual Christmas show at Penlee House Museum, Penzance.
Christmas Angel Annie uses clay to express how she feels about music and dance. Some of her figures remain as fired ceramic which she glazes, others are translated into bronze. Each has a different qualilty, the ceramics allow Annie to make more abstract pieces taking risks with forms that extend further than just the representational figure. In her bronzes dancing, running and swimming figures emerge from waves of movement which could also be material and have an intriguing ambiguity. She also facilitates creative workshops, helping others express themselves in clay.
In recent years Annie has received many commissions for angels and saints:
Annie is always happy to discuss any possible commissions."
