Annakatrin Burnham

Lecturer

Annakatrin Burnham is a ceramic sculptor and installation artist. Based in Northern California, she is a ceramics lecturer at California State Polytechnic University Humboldt in Arcata CA, USA. She holds a BA in Studio Art from Humboldt State University (2011) and an MFA from the Institute for Ceramics and Glass in Höher-Grenzhausen, Germany (2014). Burnham has a studio practice and exhibits internationally.

Working abstractly, Burnham is sensitive to her work’s connection with space. She develops aesthetics of fragility, playfulness and form association within her sculptures. Constructing parameters in which her creative impulses can thrive, Burnham pushes the conventional relationships with clay which allows spontaneity to then take a leading role in her work.
