Hannah Machover

Hannah Machover is an artist and poet from London. Her work is often rooted in oral tales, myths and anecdotes; stories are translated into small-scale intricately pieced drawings, ceramic objects, writing and prints.

There are recurring motifs in her work, including miniature prosceniums, doorways and birds in flight, all of which gesture towards a space behind the image, inviting the viewer to look closely and carefully.
