In this exhibition, 'The Weight of the World', Tracy Hanna will present new works made during a two month in residency in the Leitrim Sculpture Centre and will take the form of video, sculpture and mixed media installation.
She works primarily with video projection to create sculptural objects and environments that explore phenomenological questions. The framing of subjects is highly considered and reflects an interest in subtracting singular elements from the ‘real world’ and using them as raw material to create work that she hopes becomes a filter for sensory data, transforming perception into art.
She employs simple manipulations of materials within the physical construction of the work and also within the editing process. Her installations focus on the tactile and sensory qualities of sculpture, paying close attention to texture, scale, sound and light.
Tracy Hanna graduated from fine art at the Dublin Institute of Technology with first class honours in 2007. She has also studied at Hogeshool voor de Kunsten, Utrecht. She was born in Dublin and currently lives and works there. Hanna has exhibited in many group exhibitions and to date has had three solo exhibitions: A Day is a Room at the Dock Arts Centre, Leitrim (2011); Things Fall Apart at SOMA Contemporary, Waterford (2011) and Lightness of Being with Four Gallery, Dublin (2009). In 2012 she has been invited to participate in the pilot residency of Cavan County Council’s Bullock Lane space. Also in 2012 she will undertake a residency at Art Space Portsmouth that will culminate in a solo exhibition at their Gasp gallery space.
