Making Canberra
The national capital is home to artists, designers and craftspeople who are nationally and internationally acclaimed but choose to work, live and make here in Canberra, a city of design. Some of these artists take inspiration from our city itself. Making Canberra celebrates the local designers who have drawn from our city’s built heritage, connection to nature, and icons in their work. Annie Trevillian, Chelsea Lemon, OAT Studio, Paul House, Nicholas Harper, Rene Linssen and Sean Booth.

OAT Studio (Sarah Annand)<br />
Biography<br />
With over a decade in the Textile Industry<br />

photography study and practice, Sarah<br />
Annand established OAT Studio.<br />

Artist Statement<br />
‘My aesthetic is influenced by architecture,<br />
which has been a love of mine for as<br />
long as I can remember. This passion for<br />
our built environment runs throughout<br />
my creative journey; with my early<br />
photography studies around 15 years<br />
ago focusing on architecture of New<br />
Zealand; dissecting the shapes of building<br />
facades and creating new architectural<br />
compositions with the fractured images.<br />
When I relocated to <strong>Canberra</strong> 5 years<br />
ago, it was hard not to be inspired by<br />
the incredible brutalist and modernist<br />
structures we are so fortunate to be<br />
surrounded by.’<br />
