Hannah Clements Flourish

I wanted to explore the trajectory of growth and regeneration, viewing it as a spiral that includes reflection and advancement, rather than as a circle that returns always to the same place. My work aims to explore the dualities between permanence and ephemerality, the uniform and the diverse, decomposition and creation, past and present, opacity and translucency, contained and unrestricted, material and conceptual, as well as ideas to do with the potential of an object for transformation. I chose my materials to reflect this aim, returning books to their original organic state, but with development, transformation and re-evaluated function.
