Hannah’s main interest lies in exploring and capturing the curiosity and wonder experienced when admiring the grandeur of life and nature, frequently portrayed by the oversized suns and moons which watchfully hover over tranquil scenes. Through the techniques of batik, ceramics and collage, Hannah portrays moments and locations which have become distorted as memories, complimenting the scenes with a vibrant, dream-like quality. Through her recurrent use of batik, these pieces, conceived using wax, dye and cotton, create soft yet vivid wall hangings, capturing peaceful locations which are warped by lively colour. Inspiration arrives in the form of poignant scenes, such as the majesty of an ancient olive tree illuminated by the brilliance of the Mediterranean sun, or the hazy remains of a location from memory which take on a new energy when visited late at night in a dream
