Hanna Crosby

I am obsessed with how paint moves and sits, how colour is expressed and the effect of the finished object on a space. Starting my paintings without a specific plan for the outcome, I prefer to stay actively engaged with the process through trialling and negotiating ideas and materials until a resolution is reached. I possess a compulsion to make, feeling the constant need to work in order to keep up with my constant ideas. Not even I know what will come out of my practice next.

Sometimes seeming more relevant to my everyday culture than art is, memes and

internet culture offers imagery just as intriguing as galleries. Absurd and sometimes just ridiculously pointlessness, I have recently enjoyed creating and sharing work expressing this humour. This only further encouraged my urgency to create, and I am keen to continue developing this as I continue as a Bristol-based artist.
