Annick Ibsen

I am a sculptor in clay and a painter. I was born in Paris and moved to Des Moines 14 years ago, prior to which I experienced a breadth of cultures living in Libya, Indonesia, Hong Kong, London and India. My neo-cubist sculptures displace the viewer's expectations to unveil the actual. In my search for realism, I also establish connections between figurative and sculptural art forms with mixed media paintings that explore negative space.

Perhaps sculpture is not the form that fills space, but how the form opens space in relationship to it, including in the mind of the viewer.
