HANNAH LEES

she/her | b. 1983, Margate | based in Margate

Lees’ practice 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 matter, is made visible through her attempts to make sense of and recognise traces of life. Traditional processes, materials and rituals are often reworked to explore how ideas and beliefs can live, die and be reborn across times and cultures. There is a particular interest in how civilizations form and end around an ever-changing relationship between what is valued and what is discarded.
