Hannah was raised in Belfast with somewhat of
a positive experience growing up in a conflict zone, she learnt a lot about the
strength of women in that kind of environment. Her mother was a strong
influence, working class, strong, grew up in a male violent landscape.
Visual leaner - very important that the image does
not have to rely on text or information
At the age of 6 she saw women taken to the
streets, for protest for peace. Transcended the violence, sexism made them
undermined. As a young woman growing up and now a mother, Hannah is now interested
in how women operate in the world and how the world treats them. Hannah has a degree
in Photography and Television, 4-year BA. At the end of her course, she wanted
to take parts of each section of her photography course (fashion, documentary,
portraiture) and use them in her work today instead of working in one medium.
Graduated Royal College after three years after enduring a family loss during
her studies.
Attention in her degree show from fashion,
galleries.
Advertising – lad culture and ranch culture.
She wasn’t ready for advertising. No rigid structure to her work.
A working mother to teenage girls, she has a
strong connection to her family and her photography.
Politicised in Belfast from a young age, took
her experience of being a woman. She’s the middle aged, female photographer and
exploring the culture of how woman are presented in the world. Important for
her subject matter to be female, not from an obvious or political stance.
Combination of how she feels about the world, how it feels to be female in the
world, talks about the female condition.
