Unlike most “artist residencies,” the Anker Residency invites individual professionals and teams across a wide array of design areas to collaborate on problem-solving projects specifically related to the property or programming

Sarah McGrath
BOTANICAL SCULPTURE, KINTSUGI
In honor of a beloved Madrone tree damaged by storm, Sarah created a “grief piece” with its branches. The contrast of jarring shapes and bold lines softened by delicate gold clouds of hydrangea and allium reflected her own experience with grief: intense pain, ache and longing intersected with moments of magic, beauty and delight.

Re-cast Team
FILMMAKING, GRAPHIC DESIGN, PHOTOGRAPHY & STRATEGY
In January-February 2025, a design team led by Esther Mun of Little Fury was assembled to “re-cast” Kingston House to Anker. More than a standard re-brand, the team’s task was to design for a new identity. The team also produced photography by Charlie Kang, strategic communications with Melinda Livsey and a video highlighting the Residency program directed by James H. Martin.
