Art for a living world
Anna Murray is an artist working at the intersection of ecology, creativity, and ritual.
Her practice explores the spiral as a living pattern and water as memory and medium, with art and ceremony as tools for cultural renewal. Through voice, practice, and pathways, she creates spaces for reflection, reconnection, and cyclical return, guided by a belief in art as a form of activism in times of profound change….
Born in Hong Kong and now based in Somerset, her work is shaped by movement between cultures and landscapes. With ancestral roots that include Druidic and pagan traditions, she is interested in how land-based and nature-led ways of knowing might be reawakened in contemporary life. Her work does not seek to replicate the past, but to translate relational and indigenous principles into forms that can be lived now.
Water, ancestry, and place remain central threads, informing drawings, installations, and immersive gatherings that invite a more conscious and reciprocal relationship with the natural world. Previously co-founder of PATTERNITY and founder of SPIRALS, Anna has spent over two decades exploring pattern as a cultural language.
Her current work, WELL SPACE, distils this inquiry into a singular, devotional immersive installation rooted in land, memory and collective repair. WELL SPACE launches in Bruton in August 2026, before touring internationally in 2027.
