Artist Statement
Time is unfixed, flowing fickle, fluctuating. Temporal asymmetries cleave and splinter. Frozen, dripping, gushing, moments drift and rush. Turgidities turn turbulent, echoing the glacial groans and moans of collapsing time. Unevenly distributed duration unhinges the conditions of the everyday. Not just fast forward but also slow motion, time is out of joint, stretched thin like a membrane and compressed like wrinkled skin. Stress fractures and crumple zones contour the unnatural course of life, marking crisis and contradiction. Rhythmic dilation and compound acceleration, these are the conditions of still motion.

Artist Profile
Hometown: Canberra
Based in: Canberra
Through various methods of exploring line and form – via traditional drawing techniques, canvas painting, wire and salt installation, as well the use of LED lighting – Hannah challenges the way we expect drawing to operate and be presented. Subsequently her work becomes experiential not only in its physicality but also through a range of conceptual connections. Grappling with contemporary issues such as human migration, emotional cognition, time’s flowing passage and more traditional explorations of landscape and remoteness, Hannah’s work uses processes of repetition, ephemerality and the interplay of light and shadow to open up discussions around some of contemporary society's most pressing topics. The evolving quality of her practice gives Quinlivan’s work an organic, living quality that creates an immersive experience for the viewer.
