Hannah Lees / Floated On Foam [] Flew With Birds

About

The title Floated On Foam [] Flew With Birds is from an Old English riddle from the middle ages; the idea that something can be in two states simultaneously suggests a change has taken place or that a shift in perception has taken place.
Hannah Lees is motivated by investigating ideas of cycles and the potential for new beginnings, this constancy, be it in belief systems or in matter, is visible in her practice through her attempts to make sense of and recognize traces of life. The work of Lees generally involves organic and inorganic matter, be it from water or from the ground. This interest is based in an uncertainty of what can be collected and the origins of the elements contained within the matter.
