Hannah uses glaze as paint, focusing on the connection between skin and ceramic surface. Her practice centres around the idea of skin as a palimpsest. Hannah's current body of work in development consists of portrait studies of her father, exploring how his skin tells a story.

Congratulations to University of South Australia lecturer in Contemporary Art, Jaye Early, on being shortlisted for the Archibald Prize - opening this Friday at the Art Gallery of New South Wales!

"‘The decision to paint Masato was, initially, quite instinctive; I just knew he would make a great subject. Masato is a kind person with a tender disposition. I enjoy his intelligent sense of the absurd, along with his playful, distinctive sarcasm. After he agreed to sit for me, I knew I wanted to highlight these qualities."

The Archibald Prize is Australia's most prestigious portrait prize and is awarded annually. 2021 marks 100 years of the Archibald Prize.
