Influenced by the British documentary tradition and US ‘New Colourists’ her first work Workstations (published by and exhibited first at Camerawork, London 1988) observed, with a critical eye, London office culture in the mid Thatcher years.

Before working at UCA Anna had been senior lecturer on the Masters courses at University of the Arts, London and at the Royal College of Art and she has led numerous photography workshops/master classes around the globe.

Her work has been exhibited and published internationally and she has been shortlisted for two major prizes: in 2010 the Deutsche Borse Prize and in 2012 the Pilar Citoler Prize.

Entry in My Mother's Cupboards & My Father's Words 'My Mother's Cupboards & My Father's Words' is a miniature book. You have to get close to be able to read the text and to register the details in the photographs. It was created in 2000, for the Shoreditch Biennale, at a time when Anna Fox was inspired to make work ‘close to home’, challenging the notion of the documentary photographer as outsider. The book pairs words by her father – gruesome outbursts by a man with a rapidly debilitating disease towards the women in the house – with claustrophobic images of her mother’s neatly organised cupboards. The result is one of Fox’s most powerful and intimate bodies of work. The original self-published edition of the book has long been out of print. This second ‘remastered’ edition includes minor adjustments but remains faithful to the original design and has been produced in close collaboration with the artist. It is published to coincide with a renewed interest in the work (evidenced by exhibitions this year at the Barbican Centre, London, Gropius Bau, Berlin and SeMA, Seoul) and comes at a time when the realities of living closely with family members are in sharp focus.
Annabel Ruth Dundas Fox was the granddaughter of Robert Syme Denholm Armour, husband of Phyllis Eileen Katherine Morrison, wife of Erwin Henry Martin Slade (Schlaich), husband of Lucienne Marie G Lagasse de Locht, wife of Anthony Peter Crane, husband of Violet Anne Christine Elphinstone Fenton, wife of Philip Dudley Cross, my half first cousin.
