Contemporary art by Anu | photography, collage, mixed media

I am a visual artist and writer in Los Angeles, CA. I work with photographic arts and related processes including analog, mixed media, and digital collage, to explore material, memory, belonging, and mental health.

My work reflects diverse and hybrid cultural influences and experiences that feed into my use of color, form, and pattern. I use analog and digital processes in my work, including digital, polaroid and pinhole camera photography, experimental edits, digital layering, blends and composites, made and found papers, gelli printing, and pigments.

I am influenced by the natural world and botanical details, the land, mythology, textile, and vintage designs and images.

One of my favorite things to do is repurpose cardboard packaging via decoupage. I use these scissors or a more heavy-duty cutter in some cases. #recycling #trashtotreasure #collage #decoupage
Some of the mixed media collages from my 100 day project so far and others being flattened under the heavy books. Still working on getting that right because I’m impatient and I take them out too soon! 🫣 #collage #mixedmedia #analogcollage #the100dayproject #contemporarycollage
These seem part of the same conversation for me. #photography #digitalcollage #mixedmedia #collageart #photocollage

My piece ‘Gaia: Earth Studies 1” will be part of QUIET, an exhibition that runs this month at The Los Angeles Makery. The soft opening is tomorrow during @dtlaartnight. I hope you can drop in if you’re in LA! My piece (and my series) is an exploration of female sexual trauma as an echo and parallel for the earth’s grief around ecological destruction.
