Hannah’s Hands, 2022.
I’m an artist and researcher working with digital and analogue photography, archives, vernacular photographs and text. I make work about women and family; care and unpaid labour, and I’m the creator of the artist carer manifesto.
My work is also about photography itself: about its histories, myths and omissions. I write and talk about 19th century archives; work with early and alternative darkroom practices; and weave photographic history through my work, often using it to retell personal narratives.
I was born and raised in Essex, and have a photography degree from NTU (1997). More recently I completed an MA in the Victorian Gothic (2023), where I explored photography’s links to the supernatural and the uncanny, and researched photographic histories of gender and disability.
Based in Norwich, I work to commission across the Eastern region, making digital and analogue portraits; photographing weddings and other events; and delivering community and gallery workshops.
I also have fifteen years’ experience as an access support worker for disabled and neurodivergent artists, and work with Decode, an organisation that supports creative professionals through the Access to Work process.
