Solo exhibition at Fotokino Studio, Marseille, FRANCE

‘Initially scheduled for spring, this solo exhibition presents sketches, drawings and tapestries made for the occasion. With these pieces, Hannah weaves stories steeped in cosmology and mythology, while probing the representation of space and time.’
Noren (暖簾) are Japanese fabric hanging dividers, used to gently define borders between rooms and spaces. By using vertical slits and keeping empty space below the fabric, the scene beyond is partially visible, encouraging passage.
These noren artworks ‘Desire Line 1’ and ‘Mountain Folds’ by Hannah Waldron are produced by LINK, and are hand dyed by the Nagata dyeing house in Izumo, Japan. Shigenobu and Masao Nagata — fourth and fifth generation father and son craftsmen are one of only a few remaining natural indigo dye houses in all of Japan.

The latest textile edition from Hannah Waldron is the Fabric of Space-Time collection, a series of home-wares intended to act as tactile models for ancient and modern understandings of space and time.
Produced in a limited edition using jacquard woven double-cloth fabric designed by Hannah and woven in Sweden, it has been carefully combined with fabric detailing that is hand-dyed and hand-woven by Hannah in her studio.
This release is part of an ongoing research project (see micro-site here) begun in 2014 during an MFA in textiles at Konstfack, Stockholm. Available now in the shop.
