Anna Mari Liivrand (1993) is a sculptor and installation artist, who also works with drawing. She is a sensitive creator interested in the conventional use of everyday materials and related unconscious judgements. Using a poetic language, Liivrand explores evanescence and melancholy in today's society. She has also looked at the fragility of art, and methods of preservation. In recent years, Liivrand has focused on everyday rituals. In the 2017, Liivrand presented her solo exhibition “Unshatterable” at Hobusepea gallery. The title of the exhibition highlights the fact that laminated glass does not shatter when it breaks. The works at the show touched upon questions of preservation and conservation. The hanging talismans, created using fish oil capsules, brought to mind ways in which the human organism is held together, the glass wall and the abstract objects in it pointed to the existence of desires and ideas. Liivrand addressed similar themes in her 2019 solo show “Beds and Ripples” at Draakon gallery, inspired by unusual ephemeral materials, questions of conservation, and everyday rituals. Liivrand used different colours, textures, and liquids, with a variety of textures to draw attention to the various properties of elements: in beds with a particular form, these can be decorative elements, when flowing freely, the same elements can be seen as kinetic sculptures. Installations, hanging talismans, and silk drawings created an ephemeral and melancholic atmosphere. The liquids used in these landscapes demonstrated Liivrand's continuous interest in unusual and unstable materials, like marzipan (“untitled”, 2014); fish oil capsules; textile, incl. silk and wool; rose essence (“Landscape for Rose Tears”, 2018); cat hair (“Monument Valley (May Contain Artefacts)”, 2018). The solo exhibition “Monument Valley (May Contain Artefacts)” at the Showcase Gallery of the Estonian Academy of Arts once again displayed Liivrand's sensitive approach. Contextualising her work in the Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia and its surrounding area as a significant space in local history of architecture, Liivrand used stained glass and curious objects to create a temporary passage to a space where space can be experienced on a shifted scale.
