Anne Griffiths is an artist, collector, and lecturer with interests in history, curation, and Fine Art. She works to commission, leads public engagement and community projects, and teaches. She also runs Oxford Summer School, a week of affordable classes in art and craft.

Her practice is inspired by collecting, organising, repairing, and displaying. Adopting the role of curator, she deconstructs and reassembles objects and texts to create counter-archives that construct fresh narratives and forge unexpected connections. Working across disciplines, she combines analogue and digital methodologies to reimagine and juxtapose elements from the past and present, challenging conventional categories of culture, class, gender, and race. Her work highlights the ambiguity that persists in our attempts to understand and organise history, knowledge, and identity.

Working from her narrowboat, she is currently researching for a PhD in Fine Art. Her question, simply put, asks how the eighteenth-century system of categorising plants developed by Carl Linnaeus, which described flower structures in terms of the human body, and aligned plant reproduction with the marriage bed, reflected and reinforced the elite social culture of the era?
