Working within no fixed media, the North West of England Artist draws extensively from her decidedly ‘normal’ background. Unafraid to question her own identity, Hannah Perry’s work is a no-holds-barred account of her reactions to class, femininity, alternativity and youth; contemporary British culture through the eye of an artist at the centre of it. However, the personal is often lost through the creative process as she tries to locate her experience into a wider social and cultural context.
Ritualistic aspects of society are presented through connotation, looking at things like anthems, attitude and fashion. Such predispositions of modern culture serve as a visual communication. The naturalized and seemingly predetermined meanings of signs, symbols and objects are understood as nuanced and subjective, allowing Perry’s work to provoke an ambiguous sentiment rather than a direct opinion.
Unashamedly and unapologetically, Perry draws heavily from popular culture, using juxtaposition and montage to synthesize a variety of inspirations from some unlikely places. Clips and images from the artists life mixed with found footage from popular culture. Resulting in Perry developing a strong trashy aesthetic that is an often crude but somehow romantic take on British culture.
