In this video artist Hannah Lees talks about her exhibition The Passage of Time, and art journey, surrounding her love of archeology, and how it influences her work. Hannah paints using Wine Lees to represent a passing of time, decay, and maturity.
Her journey took her through centuries of archeology, and through Thanet and Margate's history itself. From Roman artefacts, right through the modern-day.
The Passage of Time was shown at Turner Contemporary in 2017, and tells a story of how we all connect ourselves to the earth itself.
About the Artist:
Hannah Lees’ is a female artist whose work encompasses painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, textiles, ceramics, internet art, performance, writing, sound and video.
Lees investigates ideas of cycles: constancy and mortality; the sense that things come to an end and the potential for new beginnings.
This constancy, be it in religion, science, history or in organic matter, is visible in her practice through her attempts to make sense of and recognise traces of life.
Through appreciating this, her work is focused towards an understanding of the essential nature of the materials she uses.
She completed a Postgraduate Diploma at Chelsea College of Arts and a Foundry Residency at the Royal College of Art. She was awarded the Micro Residency at the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop (Scotland).
Previous exhibitions include:
Vital Materiality at Assembly Point, Companion Planting at The Living Room (both London), Overview at SAMUEL Gallery (Chicago, United States of America) and the Turner Contemporary and the British Museum Commission (Margate, United Kingdom).
