Biography / Hannah Skinner
Hannah Skinner (1996) is a London-based artist who studied Fine Art Sculpture at Camberwell College of Arts (University of the Arts London), graduating in 2018. After graduating, Hannah was awarded the 2018 David Troostwyk Studio Prize in collaboration with Matt’s Gallery. During this time she developed her interest in kinetic sculpture. Hannah works primarily with fabrics and hand or machine embroidery. Her practice explores notions of queerness in sculpture, performance, costume, and video by incorporating kitsch and iridescent materials
About the project
Queerness Through Presentation is a project that explores the way LQBTQA+ people present themselves and why their external presentation is important to them. It asks queer people in Germany how their clothing, accessories, and fashion choices relate to their sexual identity. Hannah gains ideas for her artistic practice through a series of interviews and craft workshops. The results of this research inform her artistic practice in the form of drawings, sculptures, and costumes. Her goal is to promote community engagement for queer people.
