Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

RESUME
Anna Fiedler (b.1993 Melbourne, Australia).
Anna's wire weavings evoke the bodily form of the torso; its structure and suppleness, its symmetry and malleability. The body, however, is also an idealised form – constrained in the social imagination by moral and aesthetic values.
Anna employs a unique practice of painting the warp threads prior to weaving in the weft, a method that disrupts the premeditated and calculated techniques associated with traditional weaving, whilst maintaining a devotion to traditional structure. What we see and feel through these weavings is the tension of holding in, and of letting go. The sensation of relaxing and digesting. The restriction of the waist and the loosening of the stomach, its protrusion. A subconscious daily act.
