Anna Mould
Prudence MacLeod Prize
2025
Since graduating with a Master of Fine Art from National Art School last year, Anna Mould has been a 2024 Archibald Prize finalist, held her first solo exhibition at Dominik Mersch Gallery, Sydney, and exhibited at Sydney Contemporary with Praxis Artspace, Adelaide.
Engaging with a range of media including embroidery, painting, weaving and photography, Anna Mould’s practice explores complex social, cultural and political themes. Using a technique akin to collage, she creates visual and conceptual juxtapositions between historical and contemporary references, that aim to conjure an acknowledgement of one’s location in time and space as a part of greater global human history. Recurring themes in her work include; hierarchies of fine art and decorative art; the gendered associations of textile art; and the ways in which certain artforms have been used to express specific political ideas.
