Notes


Ruins and rustic towns in Italy are the inspiration for this abstract work. 

Hannah Benassi uses organic material, clay, and the man-made art material, oil bar, to construct soft, raw layers of colour. Her materials reflect the man-made and organic structures of the towns she depicts.

The overall result is a beautifully fluid, hazy, textural surface. Hannah explains that her "painterly drawing consists of two layers where the rustic terracotta clay is revealed through the plastered use of oil bar."

Each work that Hannah makes is the starting point for the following work. So if she is working on a collage, she will use pieces from this to inform her next work. Hannah explains, "The repetitive process of deconstructing and reconstructing my content is significant to my practice as a whole. I create simplified forms that are used as tools for composing new abstracted compositions."

Olha Stepanian's photography draws on the aesthetic of fashion photography and of Dada and Surrealist photography, like that of Man Ray and Claude Cahun.  Her crisp black and white work are striking in their simplicity and bold in their composition and overall design. This comes from a process of sketching out her ideas before a photoshot.   “Every photograph is a separate story. I look for props and costumes among friends, though it’s easy to find clothes in thrift shops and alter them to fit the model (here my seamstress training comes in handy). I love details, and it is these details that sometimes give birth to an interesting storyline."
