“The Structure of Craft” 




ANF Work
at
MATTER and SHAPE (2026)
6–9 March, 2026



A coherent body of work exploring visual, narrative, or physical structure across folk art, lacquerware, porcelain and furniture. Developed through archives and collaborations with Japanese makers, the collections embrace deliberate simplicity, exposing processes to spark dialogue, cultivate deeper material understanding, and inspire contemporary applications.
