As a conceptual artist, Hannah Rollason creates large scale installations, to engage an audience physically and psychologically. Her work is of multimedia, including but not limited to drawing, photography, film, and ceramic. Embracing form, aesthetics and the manipulation of media to draw out symbolism, metaphor and myth within the context of the work. With initial inspiration being personal exchanges and everyday visual influences this often draws in subjects such as history, ecology, and social politics to create an interdisciplinary practice.
Currently she is researching how objects and the objectification of nature indicate social political change in historical and contemporary society and the further impacts this has on current issues such as climate change.
