Living on the Otago Peninsula provides the perfect environment to get imaginative. Many of the figurative works feature room interiors with detailed domestic scenarios played out from an elevated viewpoint. These are driven by a fascination for how things appear when viewed from a height, like a fly sitting on the ceiling watching life unfold. The surrounding walls and perimeter furniture are hand-cut separately from natural plywood providing a unique effect. They are a humorous take on everyday anxiety-inducing situations that are relatable in most homes. Animals often feature in Anne's works as she believes a pet completes a home.
