HANNAH HANCOCK:​ MEMORY PIECING

The Emporium Center / 100 S Gay St. October 3 - 31st

Hannah Hancock

Memory Piecing is the title of a series of works focused on exploring traditional barn quilt painting and other quilt inspired pieces based around personal memories and life events — an ode to the arts and crafts that have shaped my personal aesthetics and visual understanding of the world having grown up in east Tennessee. Some works are bright color stories of fond memories, homages to the characters and media that have inspired me and some to individuals that have made lasting impressions on my life, whether they are still here or gone. Pieced together much like a piece of fabric, each work is a visual representation of the pieces of life that have made me.
