Filter by Hannah Jeremiah

Narrative emerges from intuitively layered images as I draw my surroundings without a plan. This process unearths meaning previously below my conscious awareness. The combinations of images produce pieces of stories that did not yet have words. A chair falls, layered over lips. The structure becomes a filter over the voice of a consciousness that lies behind dark knowing eyes. Memory’s flood of images acts like gauze hung over reality—a reality at least partially constructed through the consciousness of another person. The question of what constitutes reality, as well as the complexity of memory, continually emerge in my work.
