Anna Aagaard Jensen, born in 1990, Denmark. Anna Aagaard Jensen’s design practice interrogates the preconceived dictated behavioral patterns of women and the social factors allowing them to continue existing today. Her objects are alternative representations of the archetypes that surround us, made with a hyperfeminine aesthetic language where she uses makeup and extracts shapes related to the female body. In creating function, Jensen sculpts form into a story that advocates for a new way of looking at design, and inevitably at our environment. Jensen is also part of the artist and design collective Morph and teaches at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy of Art & Design in Amsterdam. Jensen received her B.A. in Furniture from KADK (Royal Danish Academy) and M.A. in Fine Arts and Design from Design Academy Eindhoven.
