Annabel's work crosses over and questions the boundaries between art, design and architecture.
Annabel Little is an interdisciplinary artist who explores performance as a means to develop and document a practice that spans art, craft, design and architecture, opening up questions about how and where we encounter art, and how space is produced through such encounters.
Her career formally began as an architect, working in London and then Milan where she established her own design practice. This was followed by a period of time spent in the rural hills of northern Italy when her work began to expand into visual art and textiles. On returning to the UK in 2012 she established her creative practice at the Bluecoat, and following an installation there in 2014 entitled Penthouse, that combined dining and domesticity with an exhibition of work, she founded an experimental arts and dining venue in Liverpool’s north docks. Working with theatre-makers and creating settings to facilitate performances and events led to a return to academia to study for an MA in Performance at Liverpool Hope University, graduating with distinction in 2022. She has since continued her research, working towards a practice-based doctorate in Creative and Performing Arts that proposes performance as a way of understanding and inhabiting the entangled spaces of artistic practice generated through acts of making, dwelling and display.
The various strands of her work are brought together under the name the in house gallery, (www.theinhousegallery.com) an ongoing project about the creation of spaces and places along with the making and collecting of things to put in them.
