Ann Vollum was the People’s Choice winner at the 5th Edtion of Art Fair 14C.
Ann Vollum is a New Jersey fiber and mixed media artist whose artistic journey has progressed through painting, line drawing, book making, paper cuts, to hand stitched textiles and fiber sculptures.
Inspired by the macabre, Ann was born in 1963 in Zimbabwe and grew up in Zambia, where she was sent to a merciless boarding school, and learnt to be a quiet rebel. Her “Beasties” are subconsciously drawn from her early childhood and interact with characters, mostly inspired by vintage illustrations and medieval imagery, to create a language of creatures that reappear.
Ann’s fantastical narrative tableaux are hand stitched on either natural linen or eco dyed fabric, thus grounding her subjects in nature. Ann also makes soft sculptures from natural, eco and rust dyed rescued fabrics which echo the earth, bush and masks of Africa. On the quirky side, she makes colorful wet felted sculptures.
In addition to her inclusion in the 2022 and 2023 Art Fair 14C Showcase, Ann has also been juried into the New Jersey Arts Annual at Noyes Museum, New Jersey State Museum and The Gold Standard of Textile and Fiber Art, Westbeth Gallery, New York.
