Press Release

Jhana Millers is excited to participate in the Aotearoa Art Fair at the Viaduct Events Centre from 18-21 April. For this year’s Fair, we are presenting a solo exhibition of new paintings by Hannah Ireland Tossing & Turning. Sharing ways of working that feel vulnerable and confident in tandem, this body of work by Hannah Ireland signals a new chapter.

Hannah’s practice has been moving with incredible momentum over the past three years. Accumulating numerous exhibitions and awards, she has become recognisable for her haunting, slippery, and murky figures on glass, often using repurposed window frames as supports.

This new series of works sees Hannah stepping away from this mode of making, choosing canvas and paint to continue the impetus into a new space. Incorporating motifs and patterns as an exploration and expression of her whakapapa, Tossing & Turning signifies the maker digging down to see what is to be uncovered.A printed catalogue, and an essay by Zoe Black, Deputy Director at Objectspace, will accompany the exhibition.
