Based in Swansea, Wales, Ann Jordan’s work is often site-responsive, which references both our historical and contemporary cultures and includes mapping our personal and community identities. Current work sees a return to work with the medium of sheep’s fleeces The wool is manipulated through felting, spinning, weaving. stitching and knitting to create sculptural landscapes and installations.. Ann aims to create a relationship between the domestic, private space and the public siting of the work whilst allowing the observer to reappraise their own views of familiar crafted processes and places.
