Anne Bujold's sculpture art combines metalworking techniques with found materials, assemblage, and casting to create striking objects and installations. Her interests in ecology, social justice, and the social construction of nature inform her research and increasingly collaborative practice. In her sculpture, animals serve as agents examining the spaces between definitions, that fertile ground where new forms emerge, much like the work of a skilled metalsmith or blacksmith.
Bujold is the Assistant Professor of Sculpture at the University of Louisiana, Lafayette. She earned her MFA from the Craft and Material Studies Department at Virginia Commonwealth University (2018) and her BFA from Oregon College of Art and Craft (2008). Additionally, she was the Artist-In-Residence for the Metals Area at the Appalachian Center for Craft in Smithville, TN (2018-2020).
Previously based in Portland, Oregon, she operated Riveted Rabbit Studio, a custom metal fabrication business focused on innovative iron and metal designs.
Bujold has taught at various institutions including the University of Louisiana Lafayette (LA), Virginia Commonwealth University (VA), Oregon College of Art and Craft (OR), The Multnomah Art Center (OR), The Donkey Mill Art Center (HI), The Appalachian Center for Craft (TN), and Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts.
Founded by a small group of professional women blacksmiths, the Society of Inclusive Blacksmiths intentionally supports equity, diversity, and inclusion in the field of blacksmithing and metalsmithing. We foster honest professional discussion and take actions to diversify the community of artists working with iron and other materials.
We represent the face of blacksmithing in the 21st century, showcasing diverse artisans and forward-thinking work in sculpture and metal arts.
To achieve our goals, we will host events, workshops, seminars, and projects of various scope, catering to focused groups and wide-ranging demographics.
Together, we will thrive.
