Anne Dahl

Anne Dahl is an interdisciplinary artist with a focus on metal sculpture, reclaimed materials, and sound. She centres themes of presence, movement, material hierarchies and physical agencies inspiring the collaboration between body and object from her perspective and history as a jeweller. Her work often starts with time-based wax forming techniques; guiding the flow of wax with a hybrid dance of extrusion pressure, base form movement, and breath work. These techniques leave the wax with a fluid and aqueous surface further emphasized when cast and refined in metal. She creates assemblages with metal, reclaimed stone and wood, often incorporating elements of sound while playing with physical tensions of fragility and weightedness.

Anne Dahl studied Jewellery Design, Metalsmithing, and Intermedia at NSCAD University. She has exhibited her work in New York, Montréal, Ottawa, and Toronto and currently sits on the Board of Directors at Ateliers Belleville in Montréal. Her work has been seen in Metalsmith Magazine, Clin D’oeil, FASHION Magazine, and Elle Canada.
