Anna Clowser is an interdisciplinary artist and filmmaker from Iowa, guided by her relationship with land and the search for belonging within the midwest landscape and through family histories. Working with sculptural materials such as metal, textiles, wax, celluloid film, and interactive technologies, she builds networks that foster intimacy between people, the earth, and disparate time scales. She graduated in 2025 from the University of Minnesota with an MFA in Art and a minor in Moving Image, Media & Sound.
Artist Statement:
Through my art practice I am invested in the contradictions of my home and how the legacies of care and colonial violence have impacted landscape, families, and animals in the midwest. I seek out places where multiple worlds, histories, and temporalities come up against each other. Guided by intuition, I build structures, shoot celluloid film, capture field recordings, and place them within networks where multiple places and times can coexist and interact with one another.
