About Anna Lukala
Anna Lukala is a Finnish visual artist with a primary focus on exploring more sustainable photographic processes. She combines material experimentation, fieldwork, archival research, and process-led practices to uncover new methods and perspectives informed by that land she is surrounded by. She can often be found foraging for natural colours and materials from her immediate surroundings, as well as from her dedicated pigment garden. Her work draws inspiration from the intricate interconnectedness of natural ecosystems and the rich heritage of historic folk traditions. Anna's creations are known for their tactile qualities, prompting viewers to perceive the land around us in new and thought-provoking ways. Her exploration of materiality and dedication to ecological solutions are central to her practice, often taking precedence over the final artistic outcomes.
Anna works and lives in Westcliff-on-Sea, UK
