About


Pit Projects is an evolving site of creative collaborations between artists Anni Hagberg and Michael Gittings.

Hagberg is an Australian-born Finnish visual artist with a particular interest in investigating unpredictable process-driven material encounters through craft, sculpture and installation.  Originally from Albury, Gittings established his sculptural design practice in 2016. Directly inspired by his environment and natural forms, Gittings works intuitively with his materials (primarily metal) to create three-dimensional works navigating the intersections of sculpture and functional design. 

Applying their shared penchant for hands-on material experimentation across their multidisciplinary capabilities, Hagberg and Gittings’ collaborate to create strange yet alluring objects that confuse our senses and prompt enquiry.
