Anne Bourse’s practice is underpinned by the lack of hierarchies, certainties and definitions. Her choice of medium is instinctive and spans painting, drawing, textile, sculpture and writing. Bourse says that “being unclear is important, " asking her audience to refrain from fully understanding and leaving space for ambiguity.
