Hannah Waldron

I’m a little smitten by the works of Hannah Waldron, an illustrator from the UK who is currently experimenting with weaving, where she often explores the textures, patterns, forms and structures of her surroundings, and has an interest in the development of landscape over time.

I find that she has a personal pattern that peeks through in all her work – namely her love of lines and how she uses them to create visuals; and how natural it was for her to take her strengths and turn it into an art form through weaving as well.

I discovered her work through the latest issue of Wrap (one of my favorite magazines out there on illustration and creative culture), and I’d like to share a quote with you from her feature in the magazine:

[quote] People aren’t making their own objects so much these days, but creating is an inherent part of being human, so I think that in time where the dominant mode of making things is mass production, there will be a collective search for pieces that expresses different values. ~ Hannah Waldron [/quote]
