Ann-Margreth Bohl
Based in Stroud, Gloucestershire, I work in stone and metal, and sometimes other materials such as beeswax.
I’m interested in light, shadow and the passing of time. My work includes monumental sculptures which are time pieces: they cast a complex and changing series of shadows. Like modern Stonehenges, they’re precisely aligned with the sun as it moves across the sky.
I like the contrast between what seems solid and the ephemeral effects of light as it plays upon it. I grew up a Catholic: I would spend hours in church, looking at the light coming through the windows and hitting the sculptures. And the transitory nature of life was impressed on me in my early twenties, when I trained as a paediatric nurse, working with terminally ill children.
Finally, my work is all about collaboration: from digital designers and computer animators to structural engineers, it takes a team of us to create my larger sculptures.
