Hannah's artistic exploration delves into the realm of the non-physical, where she contemplates the nuances of human consciousness and the unseen forces shaping our state of being.
Prior to 2019, Hannah's focus was on incorporating manufactured objects onto wood panels, emphasizing the physical aspects of existence—the tangible world and our bodies. This was juxtaposed with rich layers of paint, providing a voice to the unseen, non-corporeal dimensions of our inner being.
In her current body of work, she transitions to paper as a platform to convey delicacy as an interpretation of the ethereal. Using water and gouache as her primary medium, she seeks to articulate the dynamic interplay between surrender and control. Her latest series, FLOW, poses probing questions: What fosters energetic flow? Like a stream encountering blockages, what might these energetic hindrances be? How do they constrain us, and how can we transcend them? Lastly, what unfolds within our human experience when we harmonize and flow with the universe?
Approaching her work intuitively, Hannah engages with these questions by collaborating with the nature of water. She navigates when to surrender, allowing water to take control, and when to assert her own hand in the creative process.
While dedicating substantial time to color harmonizing, the actual painting process unfolds spontaneously and in the moment, drawing inspiration from the spontaneity of gesture drawings and Eastern calligraphy. Each painting encapsulates a fleeting moment in time, yet conveys a universal and timeless aspect of our existence.
