Annee Miron is Craft ACT’s 2014 national artist-in-residence.  She is a Melbourne sculptor who has exhibited her work throughout Australia and has undertaken residencies in Paris and Rome. She is the recipient of sponsorship by arts patrons including Dame Elizabeth Murdoch AC DBE and Pat Corrigan AM.

Using age-old craft techniques such as weaving, plaiting and knotting, Miron create works where form and material are the support for each other. Miron’s main concern which materialises in her practice is the transience in nature and the environment. Her work aims to reflect the simultaneous processes of making and unmaking that occur in nature.  These overarching ideas are realised through series of sequential drawings and sculptures that are barely held together, that seem to struggle to hold their form. The artist endeavours to capture a sense of time and movement in the finished works with installations or exhibitions often realised with the diversity of a single form originally made or drawn by hand.  From her original drawings or forms, as few as five variations or as many as a thousand can appear in the final body of work.
