Description
This black and white portrait has a diluted selenium toning and the photograph has a scanned 1700’s texture, this is part of the work’s look, any ‘imperfections’ are intentional and of beauty and are not flaws. ‘Seven years’ is a somewhat..concealed glance of a portrait.’ says Hannah.
‘To me, it whispers about growth and I created it, in that now signature large square format, to serve as an important reminder that everything is constantly changing. I need to be reminded of that. This piece always make me think of the famous lines of Diane Arbus;
“A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.” I’ll tell you one secret hidden in there though’, Hannah leaves us with, – ’If you saw her eyes.. they’re smiling. And the rest.. that’s up to you.’
