Aneta Novotná

Aneta Novotná is a midwife living in a dilapidated spa town in the Czech countryside, where she serves her community through a mix of clinic work and home visits. She has a peculiar habit of collecting small grey pebbles from each place she spends the night, tucking them away in her coat pockets. Her life is a balance between the intimate moments of childbirth and the anxieties of aging infrastructure, with her art emerging late at night when she reflects on the curling edges of old photographs that catch her eye in the homes she visits.
