Annie Trevorah
Drawing on futurism, augmented beings, bio-morphism, ecofeminism, exploitation, genetic modification, domestication and the commodified nature of desire in a patriarchal society that privileges the male gaze, artist Annie Trevorah is interested in the notion of hybrid enhanced organisms that assert their own agency.
Trevorah’s unconventional background informs a multidisciplinary practice that includes installation, immersive experiences, sculpture, textiles, sound, film and print. Questioning hierachies of dominance over all forms of life, her works engage the senses to construct emotionally charged environments that disrupts classic ways of thinking urging us to move away from a humanistic sense of self to embrace a more fluid, inter-species existence.
Trevorah crafts the expected into the unexpected calling to attention contradictory qualities such as good and evil, modern and primitive, provocative and unreachable, playful and dark. She blurs the boundaries of technology, manufactured and ‘the made’ combining synthetic with natural materials and often disguising their true identity. Playing with scale, light and sound her diverse choice of materials includes kelp, rubber, silicon, steel, resin, plaster, glass, straw, snake skin, wasp hive, textiles, found and re-purposed objects.
As part of her research into a new line of enquiry on ‘aesthetics and human-driven modifications to alter an animal’s appearance’ she is currently undertaking a residency with a beauty aesthetician/surgeon and next year will launch a new collection of work.
2026 will also see the artist and World Wildlife Foundation come together to celebrate its 65th anniversary and pay tribute to its pioneering commitment to biodiversity, mitigation of human ecological footprint and sustainable use of natural resources.
