Anna Eggert is a prolific artist who continues to explore new materials and processes.  Anna is well known for her stainless steel figurative sculptures and insightful transformations of found materials.  Embroidery hoops, coloured cabling, and axe handles are combined to create rhythmic, abstract forms.  Her latest body of work explores how the human body is connected to the built environment and how various forces, such as magnetic and electric fields, microwaves and x-rays impact on our physical world.  The turmoil  of these energies is captured in the lively painted and woven surfaces of Anna’s wall pieces and free-standing sculpture.  The visual components appear chaotic but are synthesised into harmoniously patterned works with a dynamic visual energy.  Anna’s skilful transformations are concerned with history and present time, with object and viewer and with the ability of artists to transform their understanding of the world into works of beauty and significance.

Anna Eggert completed her Bachelor of Visual Arts at the Canberra School of Art in 1990 and has exhibited regularly since then.  In 2001, she was awarded the Waverley Art Prize for Sculpture and was a finalist in the Wynne Prize Exhibition.  In 2003, she was a finalist in both the National Sculpture Prize and the McClelland Sculpture Award, winning the People's Choice Award for the latter.  The following year, Anna again won the People's Choice Award in the McClelland and was finalist in both the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize and the Alice Springs Art Prize.  Her work is represented in various public collections including ADFA (Canberra), Canberra Museum and Gallery, Alice Springs Art Foundation, Macquarie University (Sydney) and the ICON Museum of Art at Deakin University in Melbourne.
