HANNAH VALENTINE
Hannah Valentine’s practice is pervaded by the artist’s interest in the body and its physical sensibilities, emphasising the importance of touch and our experience of interacting with the world and each other. With her wide-ranging practice taking form primarily in object and installation, Valentine’s work is permeated by the human body and its various appendages and gestures.
The artist brings together hand-moulded bronze aspects with sourced materials including utilitarian climbing rope, the simplicity and precision of her careful compositions resulting in a tactile tension.
Valentine has received several residencies and awards, most recently selected as the Supreme Award Winner of the Miles Art Awards 2022, and her work is held in private and public collections. She was a member of the RM Collective (2018 - 2021) and co-directed the artist-run space LOFT Jervois (2014-2015).
Hannah Valentine (b. 1989 Tāmaki Makaurau) lives and works across Tāmaki Makaurau and Tauranga.
