Anne De Nooijer is a contemporary textile artist, living on Birpai Country. Working with reclaimed and hand-dyed natural textiles, she uses figurative imagery to explore feminine narratives and self-mythology. Her work originates from a place of contemplation, and wonder for the small and big things in life.

Anne’s environmentally conscious mindset, leads her to use materials that thread lightly on the planet. She often stains her work with inks and watercolours made from the leftovers of her botanical dye pots. 

Anne has exhibited nationally in both solo and group shows and has been a finalist in multiple art prizes

All Mine, Just for Now, for a Little Bit

Meditation on the fragile fiction of ownership. Everything we claim as “mine” is held only in passing; objects, relationships, spaces, even the bodies we inhabit or the feelings we have. Our houses are ours until the lease ends or the key is handed to another. Our food is ours until it becomes part of us and disappears again. Our bodies are ours briefly before they pass on to something else.

All Mine, Just for Now, for a Little Bit reflects on this continual exchange, this quiet circulation of matter and meaning. Consider how little we truly possess, and how much we simply borrow. In emphasising the temporary we can acknowledge impermanence not as loss, but as the shared condition that connects all things.
