"WHat i remember isn't always the big moment - it's the light on the floor, the sound of her voice down the hall, the way color settled into the shape with the sunlight."
" Anna Tork turns to her surroundings in New York City for vivid tones and form in the changing seasons and street art — a natural relationship with colour found from all around.
Though much of the inspiration is subconscious, colours and ideas dreamed up at night and quickly jotted down in bed, water and light are sources of deep calm for the artist. As such, Tork recreates the feeling of relaxation inspired by large bodies of water and the rippling light that moves through water, windows, and sunsets. Angles, light rays, prisms seep into the abstract art. Tork’s abstract art features a blend of acrylic, pastels (oil and soft) and spray paint on linen and cotton canvas. Charcoal, graphite, and coloured pencils also feature from time to time. Working outdoors and indoors allows the New York artist to take in her surroundings and interact with people, the latter bursting into every room of domesticity.
Fundamentally, moving beyond the aesthetics, Tork's practice is centered on finding herself and capturing places through sharing art."
