Material-Led Characteristics

Each artwork is handcrafted from polymer clay, a material that naturally responds throughout the making process. While every piece is created with meticulous care, subtle variations in surface, texture and form may emerge. Rather than concealing these characteristics, I choose to preserve them as an honest reflection of my artistic practice. They are part of what makes each artwork unique and are intrinsic to its originality.

Every artwork is accompanied with a signed certificate of authenticity.

The Process & Thought Behind Wer

Wer, framed contemporary abstract polymer clay artwork by Anna Mills featuring a geometric composition of hand-cut square cane slices above finely layered stripe canework.

Symmetry, Interrupted

My work is created using intricate clay cane techniques in polymer clay, an artform with its roots in Millefiori and Nerikomi. Built through layering, slicing, and repetition, the process allows for remarkable precision and moments of near-perfect symmetry. As the clay is extruded and placed under pressure, patterns that once felt structured and exact begin to distort, shifting into something more organic, unpredictable and chaotic.

Perfection, Imperfected

This transformation mirrors my own contemplative process: where precision gives way to intuition, and perfectionism softens into something more human and accepting. I embrace the imperfection. I now seek it out. I'm constantly exploring methods in which I can further disrupt the clay or surface texture of my work. For me, there's nothing more visually satisfying than the unexpected.

Expertly Framed

Each piece is professionally framed using FSC-certified wood moulding, chosen to complement the subtle, natural tones of my work. I prefer to use open tray frames, allowing the honed texture of the artwork to remain visible and appreciated rather than concealed behind glass. All works arrive ready to hang, complete with D-rings and hanging string installed.
