Artwork Details

The underlying conceptual theme of this series of images relates to our experience of overcoming and adapting to the recent pandemic.

These three bold prints are of "Learn To Surf", "Second Wave" and "Wave Goodbye". Each image was painted in layers at a unique point in human history; unprecedented times. The two hidden masterpieces beneath, have been captured as archival prints for the Collector's reference and enjoyment.

In the first painting, entitled "Learn To Surf", Hannah used her hands to create movement rather than utilising traditional brushes. These marks remain evident on the final piece. Initially inspired by the quote...
"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf" Jon Kabat-Zinn,
...the dynamic work evolved!

Aesthetically these images appear to be quite pleasing to the eye, the perfect gift to adorn your home? However, the image of the "Second Wave" reflects a darker event. When Hannah was four years old she nearly drowned on a surf beach in France. This image has been ingrained in her memory and acted as a metaphorical parallel to the highs and lows of lockdown. For example, many people enjoyed spending time with family in the comfort of their own homes with great weather, yet the virus was powerful and deadly threat. The juxtaposition of the family holiday and the fear of drowning presents similar concepts.

With Freedom Day in sight (19th July 2021) the final image "Wave Goodbye" portrays a metaphorical scene of hope (on the horizon) as the storm subsides. Many have literally had to wave goodbye to loved ones and some never had that privalidge. So while the sun sets on this season, there remains a hidden trauma engrained in our collective memory; much like the hidden images that are still visible in the textures of the original canvas.
