Anastasia Owens (b. 1999, New York City) is a Chilean-American interdisciplinary artist and independent scholar based between New York City and Mallorca.

Anastasia graduated from Williams College in 2023 with honors, double majoring in Studio Art and Art History. Her work concerns the study of heritage textiles and aims to preserve the history embedded in their methods of production and usage.  She is interested in questions of materiality, labor, gender, and cultural imbrication in contexts ranging from the devotional practices in the production of medieval textiles to the abuse and unsustainability of the contemporary textile industry. 

Her abstract material topographies evoke the visual language of maps, diagrams, and charts. She is interested in how representational models visualize land, borders, and natural landscapes to construct identity based on arbitrary boundaries and sanitized histories of cross-cultural exchange. Anastasia creates geometric narratives that explore how movement, migration, and gradual transformation can be envisioned as a state of being. Her work explores the tensions between the static and the variable within organizational systems. By abstracting the vernacular of informational models and diagrams, Anastasia reinterprets how cultural knowledge may be stored and understood within the woven surface.
