Artist's Statement
Hannah’s work looks to the natural environment; extracting and manipulating the patterns, textures and colours to inform her design. From an original source of the lichen Hannah has formed a collection around the transition of image to object creating pieces which highlight her love of surface design. Her work is strongly rooted in the sketchbook process, moving prints to tangible materials.
Her most recent body of work is a material exploration, a merger of the precious and non-precious with her use of thread, acetate, jesmonite, acrylic paint and silver. With an emphasis placed on making objects of interest Hannah ensures every facet of her work has visual interest, allowing the viewer to look and explore the pieces
