Figurative groupings are an ongoing interest. As populations of nearly identical units, the figures in her work address both our capacity to communicate with ourselves and with one another, and our spatial and psychological relationships to sculptural objects. The figures are often actors in more than one sense of the word. In "The Ecstasy of Pigs" Ann uses a neo-Baroque architectural setting to obliquely frame anxieties about human consumption and our increasingly extreme relationship to the food sources we harvest.
