Alaskan artist Anna McIllece’s work inhabits the threshold between imagined landscape
and living form, merging natural motifs with entities that hover between the living and the spectral. A
fascination with horror drives her practice as an emotional texture rather than a stereotype or genre, developing
via stretches of color, webs, and interwoven tendrils. Unafraid of disorientation, derealization, and destabilization,
McIllece creates objects that encounter the viewer as a stranger, rather than a familiar presence, inviting them
to confront the curiosities of their dream spaces and nightmare locales.
