Anna Bierler works with words, typography, and other living media, such as stones, sand, trees and water. Researching publishing as the process of creating relational experiences, Anna seeks to understand ways of doing and living together. Tending to the entanglements of community building and maintenance processes, Anna often works collectively in creating shared rituals, narrations and experiences.
