Annie Rapstoff is interested in responding to place and the human condition. She examines relationships with other beings in the widest sense of the word, including animals, plants, soil, and trees.

Since 2019, she is exploring possibilities of self-transformation and interbeing with birds. She examines the interplay and impact of human intervention within the landscape and in relation to other species. She is currently investigating animism and "the imagined heard, felt, and experienced." Her current work on birds has included work on mimesis,  postures, behavior, and myths around such birds as The Magpie, The Albatross, and The Cuckoo.

She works with whatever materials work for her ideas, however, this mainly includes performance, text, book art, spoken word, video, and stitch. Her work is often participatory, collaborative, process-based or ephemeral, taking the form of instructions, events, performance for the camera and in situ, gestures, interventions, video and writing/language.
