Anna Torma

Anna Torma (born 1952) is a Hungarian-Canadian fibre artist. Born in Tarnaörs, Hungary she immigrated to Canada in 1988. She specializes in large-scale hand embroideries, and her work draws upon multiple artistic and textile techniques, including appliqué, felting, photo transfer, collage, and quilting. She appropriates visual imagery from multiple sources, including anatomical drawings, folk art, and her children's drawings. She combines traditional methods of the Hungarian textile tradition with the radical reclamation of craft art forms from the avant-garde feminist movements of the 1960s and 1970s.
