I Anne-Marie Creamer was selected as one of the 100 international artists featured in the Aesthetica Artists' Profiles 2017.

My featured work, 'Treatment for Six Characters', embodies the exhibition and wider research symposium themeless of;

Entanglement of Narrative and Place: The core of my practice explores how storytelling, memories, and histories intersect with specific physical locations.

Multidisciplinary and Theatrical Forms: My work utilises a wide variety of mediums—frequently combining film, animation, drawing, and writing—to generate staging that acts as a form of "theatrical" narrative.

Ethical Custodianship: My concepts focus heavily on voices, marginalized or forgotten entities, and social spaces that are at risk of disappearing, acting as a form of "spectral conjuring" to prompt critical reflection.

As a featured practitioner in the 2017 cohort, my work contributes directly to the anthology’s overarching goal of highlighting how contemporary artists respond to a shifting understanding of reality, identity, and place in the 21st century. My distinct profile and conceptual artist statement are preserved within the pages of the publication to showcase the global dialogue and diverse media of the exhibition.
