Angela Sanders is an interdisciplinary artist and educator based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Working across installation, sculpture, textiles, video, and participatory public projects, her practice explores climate transformation, migration, care, material memory, and the fragile relationships between human and more-than-human worlds.

Born in Hull, Yorkshire, a city shaped by water, flooding, migration, and economic uncertainty, Sanders now lives in California, where drought, wildfire, and ecological fragility have become central to her material and emotional landscape. Her work moves between these forces of water and fire, tracing how bodies, places, and materials carry loss, memory, and the possibility of regeneration.

Sanders works with responsive and often vulnerable materials, including natural latex, burned wood, willow, wax, fishing net, cloth, thread, wool, and found matter. Many of these materials shift, darken, harden, fray, or carry traces of the environments from which they came. Through this process, her work considers how damage and repair, protection and exposure, absence and continuity exist together.

Her recent projects include large-scale installations responding to wildfire, sea-level rise, drought, migration, and ecological change, as well as participatory public works that invite reflection on care, community, and belonging. Sanders received her BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and her MFA from the University of Nevada, Reno. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally and is held in collections in Japan, Italy, England, China, Turkey, Puerto Rico, and the United States.
