Anna Roach

MFA

Anna Roach is a multimedia artist living and working in Memphis, TN.

"Reliquaries, is an ongoing project, including a series of paintings based on the photographic mistakes found in my growing collection of anonymous snapshots. These are hand-rendered photo-copies done in oil on panel.

My work is an endless search for authentic ways to suggest that the observable world is not as secure as it seems, to give significance to the unknown, and to reflect the limits of perception. "
