Introducing Annie Caps


My sculpture is the physical embodiment of youth. I seek to recapture
that lost feeling in my sculpture. My work speaks to all ages, genders
and nationalities. I strive for universal appeal through the use of
minimal design. My figures are waiting for their histories to be
written and rewritten by each new observer.
My character driven sculpture comes from the environment in which
I was raised, an atmosphere that had a heavy dose of Saturday
Morning Cartoons and 16-bit video games. This amalgamation of
pop culture has manifested into a minimalist style of sculpture with
emphasis on form and narrative.
My sculptures offer a whimsical view into my subconscious that tells
the story of my childhood.
I am reminded of the words of Takashi Murakami who said, “Art does
not have to be elitist. It can be entertaining and available.”
In dealing with virtual prototypes, I strive to make my figures both
enjoyable and attainable through the creation of physical sculptures.
