Hannah Waldron

I was first introduced to Hannah's work when she came to do a talk here in college. She is a textiles artist and illustrator, who is influenced by maps, diagrams, and the rich storytelling history of textiles and their versatile purpose which is both decorative and utilitarian.

I think she will be a valuable practitioner to look at because she presents meaning and sometimes narratives through simplified forms. In some ways, I see her work as a modern day answer to tapestries from the past, or fabric murals.

Based on her observations and memories of a journey taken from Rome to Sorrento and back again. This screen-printed design shows the atmosphere, sights, and architecture from the various places she visited.
