Currently my research investigates creative processes and what may constitute 'an arts practice' which includes the development of work, curatorial projects, and collaborations. I have chosen to develop a series of projects that informs my thesis - these include Wall Stories (2006) and terra_data (2007-08).

My approach is inter-disciplinary. I often use found materials en mass and apply archaeological and geographical methodologies/analogies in both the practical development of the works and in the writing.

I am currently responding to living and working in Vanuatu, a developing country. This is also being informed by my work with Wan Smolbag's use of theatre, story telling, and play as a means to educate and empower.

Ana Terry is a multi-disciplinary artist. She responds to found materials and often to a given location from which to draw out ideas and metaphoric associations. She has been lecturing in both project drawing and digital media since 2004 at Otago Polytechnic School of Art. Currently she is based in Vanuatu as a volunteer working with the NGO Wan Smolbag Theatre as a visual communications and design advisor while completing her MFA.
