Today I re-read the biography I used recently for an exhibition at S1 artspace in Sheffield in order to help write a new text for the show at Derby Museum. It really has helped me to write more clearly about my ideas and research and how influential the residency has been for me and my practice. As a result I thought it might be a good way to begin to introduce my work to the blog.
Hannah Shaw was born in Nottingham, 1989 and now lives and works in Sheffield, having studied BA Fine Art at Sheffield Hallam University (2012). Her practice is focused on creating connections between often disparate ideas through extensive research. Strongly influenced by the work of the Russian avant-garde, her work aims to use new discoveries and ideas within the sciences to view the world through new eyes and renew a sense of besottedness with the world around her.
I am currently at a stage in the project that I am really excited about. To best explain my ideas I am going to talk about the work in two separate parts. I will start with part one tomorrow!
