ABOUT THE ARTIST
Annie Tull is a compassionate visionary working at the intersection of fine art and permaculture. Annie Tull uses repetition and rhythm to push the boundaries of color and line. Her sustainable site-specific installations are created from organic cotton rope and plant-based dyes. With dual background in interior architecture and fine art, she uses rope as a means of connection toward a goal of closing the gap between people and planet. By exploring the creative potential of an ordinary household material like rope, Tull hopes to create visual experiences that are honest, intentional, and tied back to the land. She is committed to a creative practice with an earth-first ethos.
