She practices ancient and experimental metalsmithing techniques, in addition to working with a variety of materials and found objects.

Hanna creates adornments for performance and ritual,recontextualized in the landscape of modern life. Her work draws on mythology,mysticism,dreams,memories, astral magic, the subconscious and perspectives of reality.

Honoring stories and traditions of the past while writing a new narrative out of time. Adornments meant to act as deities for the body, enabling the wearer to invoke the sacred through their own embodiment.

She is a believer and investigator in the transformative power of disguise, movement and of talismanic objects. Hanna is consistently exploring the links between the meditation of the intimate craft process and expression of the body through performance.

She is interested in the balance of intimacy between maker, wearer and witness.
