Anni Eckerman (b. 1991) is a material-based artist who mostly works in glass and ceramics. Anni was born and raised in Helsinki and Åland. In the spring of 2025, she graduated from the Bachelor's program in Ceramics & Glass at Konstfack. Anni works with objects and our relationship to objects. Speed and chance are the basis of her work. Her process is in dialogue with the material and is inspired by architecture, design, history and nature.
“I am building a house out of homesickness. Building block by building block. I take care of my longing like a house. I have two homes and my longing is constant. I am building a house, a memory of a home.” The work I am building a house (2025) is an exploration of homesickness through the material wood. In Anni Eckerman's work, the wood becomes the carrier of the work without being visible – through wood ash in glazes and plywood in glassblowing molds. Eckerman's interpretation of the natural environment and cultural history imitates the art of building and the history of design.
