Anselmi's work is presented as one more dimension, where time and space coexist and question each other, inviting viewers to join in, to travel their own paths and lose themselves in the forest of their own experiences. The common thread of her artistic production evolves as reflected in her installations; from cave to forest, the work envelops viewers and restores the weight of their presence. The artist is not satisfied with merely showing off her creation, her point of view, her plastic development; she transgresses the border between communication and experience, proposing a ritual where the work is built on the perception of walking through the forest, of reaching the clearing, of accepting the past and deciding the future. The presence of the forest in her works dates back to the early 1980s, where magical inhabitants wove stories from the roots of her intricate drawings. Her career and artistic maturity unfolds in settings that question the actions of humans against nature and against their own memory. From the evocation of the primitive and the ephemeral of human expression (Casa Ghandi, Montevideo 1995) to the forests of monoprint strips of "Space_time" displayed in three instances "Work in progress" (Centro Cultural Dodecá, Montevideo 2006), "The day in your hands ”(Goethe Institute, Montevideo 2006) and “She_he” (52 nd National Visual Arts Salon, Museo Nacional de Artes Visuales, Montevideo 2007). Then, with "Water" (Regis Center for the Arts, University of Minnesota, USA 2008), "Games in the forest" (Centro Cultural Dodecá, Montevideo 2011), "Blessed water source of life" (Cabildo de Montevideo 2012), Claudia Anselmi's work reflects the precariousness of the human condition versus time, nature and ourselves.
