Landmark Arts Centre, Midsummer Art Fair, featuring Hannah Tucker

Recently I received the news that my work had been accepted into the Midsummer Art Fair at the Landmark Arts Centre. I was then told that one of my prints "Flower Bird" had been chosen to advertise the fair. FANTASTIC! Look out for the credit at the side of the image when your glancing through the arty mags!

The Asylum and The Wing Assignment.

Panoramic 360 camera view

  

A print of mine was shown at the Asylum Gallery in Peckham. The show was a collaboration  between the Wing Assignment and the Asylum Gallery. This show was to present examples of past work and to launch the new assignment. The work was displayed in a beautiful semi-derelict 19th Century Chapel.

Traditional Chinese Scissors.

Traditional Chinese Scissors.

 Today I had the pleasure of being given a pair of traditional Chinese scissors. These scissors have evolved from the Tang dynasty, in the 7th to 9th Century. Interestingly enough there were many notable innovations during the Tang, including the development of woodblock printing. I've been using these scissors today to help cut my way through collages and 'made' images. An added bonus is that they are great for those who are left handed!

The Wing Assignment

Hi all,

I have been rather busy lately, three shows on in one week. One of the shows was called (yes, you've guessed it) The Wing Assignment, here's a little about it from Nina who is the founder of the assignment:

"The purpose of The Assignment is to provide a platform for creatives to express themselves freely in response to a single evocative object/concept/theme. It is really about the process, to provide inspiration and motivate self-expression without compromise. The Wing Assignment evolved from a personal project, curious to to prompt a range of different artistic interpretation, I invited a handful of friends and artists to respond to the wing, a physical object that is not only beautiful but also loaded with symbolism. The results were so diverse and inspired that the project literally took flight on its own"

I was invited to show work at the Red Bull Studios with a group of chosen artists, here are a few pictures from the show.

Show from earlier in the year.

I was going through old e-mails and found this video of a show I was in. The Collection, an exhibition curated by Holy Ghost, for which they invited artists to submit work over the duration of a week. Continually growing, the exhibition contains work from across the globe with submissions coming in from as far as the Philippines and United States.

Recent show.

Woop, hello!

Hannah Tucker has got herself in another show (finally)

I've recently been in a show and had my work bought (woo). It is a piece nameed 'Flower Bird', initially a hand-made collage that has then been screen printed. If you have time please go and visit the Pallant House Gallery. There's a great number of other 'famous' work there to look at too. xxx

Eco Lion.

Eco Lion is finally completed, but needs a professional photo shoot! I feel this piece has obviously been very figurative but literal in materials. Will wite a short piece about why exactly I made the lion later. Stay in touch x

ALMOST FINISHED!

Ah, it's almost finished! Here's me applying the mane, owww fancy. Let me know thoughts etc, au revoir xxxx

Constructed fabric rubble

Yes, look how much time has gone into cutting, sewing and gluing. I think it has taken me a total of 5-7 hours just to glue! Oh, how tedious that part was, i have also just spent an hour fixing the head on to skeleton. x

Fabric rubble

The mane is complete, now attaching it is another thing. Will post the lastest pictures soon, almost finish, yay. x

Clamps and such

Decided that my 50 year desk serves as a good clamping device as I can't find my clamps amongst the fabric rubble in my room. Fixing head to skeleton, quite hard work, need another set of hands. x

Hair noise

I can make my hair sound like a string on a bow, I'm really tired and should plan my next move. x

NEW HEAD!

Ola,

Here is the head finished and felted (by hand). I learnt a new technic, making felt direct from a sheep. It's quite easy but, very time consuming and you might have a possible allergic reaction to natural wool (as i found out). Anyway, work is moving slowly but surely.
The next stage will take me longer so goodbye for now. x

NOW THE HEAD!

A Photo of the Lions head! I have made a cast in plaster from a clay head but didn't want to bombard you with loads of photos! x

Making work

I have been beavering away making a lions head, this is to build a new portfolio. My previous one is too old and outdated.
This is what the mane and head will sit on, basically a skeleton. It took me a couple of weeks to make as I work full time and general life admin needs to be attended. I'll be posting more photos of the making process online. x

Passwords

This is the fifth time I have had to make a new password. Oh to be organised!
