Hannah Imlach
Hannah Imlach is a Scottish visual artist working predominantly in sculpture. Her transient and site-specific works respond to specific landscapes or recent development in scientific understanding and often focus on environments threatened by changing climate. The objects she creates are designed to be activated by a participant and often reference recognizable forms, acting as shelter, jacket, kite or turbine.
