Found materials, or objects, are often a source of inspiration, or triggers for action. Much of my work on paper is an offshoot of my sculptural work, or continues my interest in materials in some way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ideas are often the jumping-off point for work, but hopefully the end-result will transcend them and reveal something significant, or surprising. I am interested in discerning what I have really been up to, rather than what I think I had in mind, and that is what keeps me fascinated with the whole enterprise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">My art-making is my way of dealing with life. It lets me act out, exorcise, focus, resist disintegration, and, most of all, be surprised. I can only hope that the metaphors that I find in the process will have echoes for others as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8211;Anne Havens<\/p>\n\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder<h3>Related Images:<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anne Havens: Echoes and Variations February 26 &#8211; March 27, 2026 Opening Reception: Thursday, February 26, 5:00 to 7:00 pm For the most part, I am an intuitive artist, finding rather than ordering up, always looking around the bend.
