Annie Trevorah’s multi-disciplinary practice takes a panoptic and cinematic approach; is highly narrative and often installation based embracing sculpture, textiles, print, photography, video and sound.
Trevorah’s particular area of interest is human–plant interconnectivity. Looking at our immersion within a dynamic world, she places eco-feminism, drawing on the concept of gender to analyse the relationships between humans and nature, linked evolutionary/reproductive processes, mutation, shape-shifting and intra-dependence at the heart of her work.
In repositioning our thinking from the human perspective – the anthropocentric mode – to that of the vegetative, Trevorah interrogates the human/nature boundary and questions assumptions about human superiority over the environment, asking us to reconsider the human subject as just one of many participants within a lively ecology of meaning and value - each with its own agentive desires and possibilities, ceaselessly engaged in processes of their own becoming. As Trevorah reflects upon our future existence, she poses the question of a biological invasion of an adaptive alien species equipped to survive in the world we have created.
An emphasis on the notion of metamorphosis, leads Trevorah to play with a palette of bright colours and an array of materials including clay, resin, glass, vegetation, fabric, foam, metal and stone often using a surprising juxtaposition of materials to highlight discord and sometimes harmony.
